Hard X-ray sources with log Lx 32-33 ergs/s are observed in the Galactic Center and in globular clusters, and have been suggested to be intermediate polars (IPs), a type of magnetic cataclysmic variable (CV). We compare the X-ray spectra of 20 known IPs observed with ASCA to the spectra of Galactic Center sources and globular cluster CVs. To reduce the effects of high absorption towards the Galactic Center and complex partial covering absorption, we restrict our fits to the 2-8 keV range. We discuss possible causes of the spectral differences we see, and possible systematic effects.
This research has been supported by the Lindheimer fund (COH), and a Hubble Fellowship (MPM).
