Non-magnetic CVs: X-ray Spectra
Only recently has it been possible to obtain X-ray spectra of high resolution of non-magnetic systems in quiescence
Spectra show strong emission lines characteristic of optically thin emission from collisionally ionised plasmas
Boundary layer model is consistent with this
Rotational broadening is appropriate for white dwarf spin but not the inner Keplarian orbit of the disk
