Scientific paper

We will apply the proven optical technique of eclipse mapping to X-ray observations of disc-accreting white dwarfs. Our previous XMM-Newton studies have demonstrated the value of this technique by allowing us to measure the extent of the shock-heated plasma around the compact objects in OY Car and HT Cas. In this proposal we request observations of the only other bright well-studied eclipsing dwarf nova, Z Cha. We will measure the duration and the shape of the eclipse ingress and egress, and thus determine the extent and distribution of the X-ray emitting plasma. We will also study the coronal X-ray emission of the secondary star revealed during the eclipse.
