Scientific paper

The authors report results from EXOSAT observations of the intermediate polar system 2A 0526-328 (TV Col). The hard X-ray emission (2 - 8 keV) is modulated with a period of 1943 s, interpreted as the white dwarf rotation period. Soft and hard X-ray emission show intensity minima, in phase with the orbital period of 0.2286 days; analysis of the hard X-ray spectra shows that these minima are caused by an extra low-energy absorption corresponding to a H column density of 4×1022cm-2.
