Scientific paper

This paper reports on the first detailed X-ray observation of the eclipsing AM Her cataclysmic variable EP Dra, using the ROSAT PSPC. The extracted PSPC spectrum of EP Dra shows the characteristic AM Her spectrum, with a blackbody component of ~10-15 keV. The X-ray light curve shows an eclipse slightly offset from the pulse maximum. There is slight evidence for structure in the softer emitting regions as compared with the harder emitting regions.
