Scientific paper

We report on the analysis of the ASCA and BeppoSAX X-ray observations of the polar system BL Hyi. Emission from both poles is apparent in both observations; the emission from the second pole varies from cycle to cycle, indicating non-stationary accretion there. The temperature of the post-shock region is estimated to be about 10 keV. Inclusion of both complex absorption and Compton reflection significantly improves the quality of the fit. No soft X-ray component is observed; the BeppoSAX/LECS upper limit to the soft component is in agreement with theoretical expectations for this low magnetic field system.
