In this paper, I present a review on the properties of accretion curtains in magnetic Cataclysmic Variables and T Tauri stars. In particular, I will show that magnetically confined accretion curtains that are heated by hard, soft x-rays or UV radiation originating from the accretion shocks at the surface of the accreting star can give rise to the observed complex emission line profiles.
