Type
Observational: X-ray photometry & spectroscopy and optical photometry.
Object(s)
HT Cam.
Results
Detection of the 515 s in X-rays confirms the IP nature of HT Cam. Optical/UV pulses are in phase with the X-rays, hence they originate in the accretion curtain. White dwarf heating appears not to be important. X-ray spectrum is from multi-temperature plasma, and photoelectric absorption is weak. HT Cam is the third IP below the gap with low accretion rate.
