Scientific paper

The authors report preliminary results of X-ray and optical observations of the AM Her star H0139-68 during its low state at V ≡ 17 to 18. X-rays were detected only during ≡45% of the orbital period when the system was optically bright and the radial velocity of the Balmer lines was positive. The data show no evidence for accretion onto two active poles as indicated by previous X-ray and linear-polarization measurements. The authors find that the distance of the system based on its K-magnitude is d ≡ 130 pc.
