Scientific paper

The X-ray emitting boundary layers of quiescent dwarf novae offer a rare opportunity to probe the thermal and dynamical structure of the flow in the vicinity of the white dwarf via detailed spectroscopic diagnostics. Using an extension of the Raymond-Smith code able to compute the detailed continuum and line emission spectrum expected from a hot flow with arbitrary temperature and density profiles, we are in a position to carry out such diagnostics. We propose to observe the promising candidate WX Hyi with the Chandra X-ray Observatory and test the various theoretical models of boundary layers and hot accretion flows developed in this context.
