****************************************************** PR # 65 AM HER makes an excellent spectral/temporal/PSF calibrator. AM Her is the prototype for the class of magnetic CVs whose strong B field results in phase-lock sychronization of the WD rotation period with the binary orbit. The 3.1 hr orbital motion results in deep eclipses as the observed hard X-rays producing region disappers behind the WD limb for 0.1 of the orbit cycle. The bright point source spectrum consists of the predominent soft BB component, Tbb < 40 eV, a hard bremsstrahlung component, Tbr ~ 10 keV, and a strong Fe line at ~ 7 keV. The expected count rate is problematic as AM HER cycles through high and low X-ray states (timescales ~ yr, 90% high). The last reported observations indicates a high state. $@ (J ******************************************************
