Scientific paper

We have recently performed a Suzaku X-ray observation of the short period dwarf nova V893 Sco and discovered it to be partially eclipsing at X-ray energies, the first such event to be discovered among the class of dwarf novae. However, the eclipse phase was only observed 2.5 times in the short 20 ksec Suzaku observation. Here we propose a longer XMM-Newton observation to observe 8 full eclipses using the EPIC cameras, complemented by simultaneous UV photometry using the OM, to determine the location and measure the extent of the X-ray emission region in dwarf novae.
