DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Bosco Oruru (University of the Free State)\nThe high
 ly transient multi-wavelength system AE Aqr consists of a fast rotating hi
 ghly magnetic WD\, accreting mass from a K3-5 secondary companion. This ma
 gnetic CV has a characteristic orbital period of 9.88 h\, and is in a prop
 eller state. The turbulent interaction between the fast spinning WD magnet
 osphere and the accretion flow is believed to play a crucial role in the m
 ulti-wavelength emission in the system. We have analysed the system's X-ra
 y lightcurves and spectra from data observed with Chandra and Swift-XRT\, 
 and the results of this study show that the X-ray characteristics are uniq
 ue. In this paper\, the results of the analysis will be discussed\, with t
 he view to propose suitable models for the X-ray emission mechanisms.\n\nh
