Scientific paper

We propose a 100 ksec Chandra HETG/ACIS-S observation of the intermediate polar, YY Dra. The existing ASCA data suggest that this is one of the few magnetic CVs with a cooling flow-like X-ray spectrum. The double humped X-ray spin modulation of YY Dra implies that we view both poles during a spin cycle. The combination of these two factors makes YY Dra an ideal target for an HETG observation. We intend to analyze the results both within the context of existing multi-wavelength data on YY Dra and of existing Chandra data of magnetic and non-magnetic CVs. The unique geometry and X-ray brightness of YY Dra should provide phase-averaged and phase-resolved spectra that will clarify our understanding of accretion in the presence of magnetic fields.
