Abstract
We present the energy distribution of three hard X-ray sources H2252-035, 4U1849-31 and 2A0526-328 identified with intermediate polars. The ultraviolet and optical continuum can be well described by the standard disc model but this requires rather large discs and high accretion rates. Other possible contributions to the energy distribution are estimated, The predicted high accretion rates as well as the amplitude of the optical pulsations are in disagreement with the observed X-ray luminosity suggesting the existence of an unseen soft X-ray or extreme UV component.
