Abstract. Hard X-ray light curves and spectral parameters from our
analysis of X-ray data of five AM Her type systems – V2301 Oph, V1432
Aql, EP Draconis, GG Leonis, V834 Cen, and one intermediate polar
– TV Col, observed using the Rossi X ? ray T iming Explorer (RXTE)
satellite are presented. A new improved ephemeris has been derived for
V2301 Oph using the mid-eclipse timings. Average intensity variations,
without any change of shape of the light curve or hardness ratio, are
observed on timescales of a few days to a few months in V2301 Oph.
V1432 Aql shows erratic variations on a timescale of a day, at least 2
sharp dips near orbital phases 0.35 and 0.5, and a total eclipse. Hard
X-ray eclipses are also reported in EP Dra and GG Leo. V834 Cen shows
intensity variations on yearly timescale and is found to be in a low state
in 2002. In TV Col, a binary orbital modulation at 5.5h, in addition to
the spin period of 1910s, is reported for the first time. Maximum spectral
temperatures in Polars have been determined and used to estimate the
masses of the white dwarfs.
1. Introduction
Hard X-ray ( 2 keV) emission from polars is believed to originate from the post-
shock region at the base of the accretion column (see Patterson 1994) on the
accreting white dwarf. X-ray studies of eclipsing polars are particularly valuable
for understanding the geometry of the accretion region, and to learn about the
interaction o
