Abstract
We report on BBXRT observations of the cataclysmic variable H0538+608 (=BY Cam). The unexcelled energy resolution of BBXRT in the vicinity o f the iron K line allows the line strength and energy to be constraine d more tightly than has previously been possible. We are able to rule out a significant contribution from fluorescence on iron more neutral than Fe XVIII. Implications for the conditions in the accreting gas ar e discussed.
