EXOSAT observations of AM Her objects - preliminary results.
Abstract
The authors present preliminary EXOSAT soft X-ray light curves of the AM Her objects VV Puppis, E2003+225, AN UMa and E1405-451. These are the first X-ray light curves with continuous and complete orbital coverage. For the last three objects these light curves show remarkable similarities each having two short eclipses per orbit. Only E1405-451 was detected in the medium energy experiment, a folded light curve is presented.
