Five X-ray observations of the intermediate polar FO Aqr spanning ten yearsThe comparison of five X-ray observations of FO Aqr reveals that the morphology of the X-ray light curve changes considerably with time. Power spectra from 1988 and 1993 reveal a sideband component, while power spectra from 1990 do not. This suggests that the amount of disk overflow accretion varies as a function of time. From structured spin folded light curves, the presence of complex, multicomponent emitting regions near the white dwarf's surface can be inferred.
