Abstract

We present a phase-resolved ROSAT HRI X-ray light curve of the dwarf nova OY Car in quiescence. The X-ray flux is eclipsed at the same time as the optical eclipse of the primary, and the region of X -ray emission is comparable in size to the white dwarf. We use subsequent optical observations to update the orbital ephemeris of the system.
