Abstract

EXOSAT has been used to carry out a series of observations of the dwarf nova SS Cygni covering both quiescent and outburst states which provide a detailed picture of its behaviour at X-ray wavelengths. These results provide strong support for a new coronal model for the X-ray emission from non-magnetic white dwarf systems.
