Abstract

We report new results obtained from the EXOSAT AO- 1 observation of the intermediate polar V1223 Sgr. The detection of a 12.4 minute period in the medium energy X-ray flux with an associated hardness ratio variation has been previously reported in Osborne et al. (1984a). Further work has revealed: a narrow dip at the phase zero in the folded medium energy light curve; ~ 30% modulation in the low energy X-ray (3000 Lexan) flux; a count rate ratio from 3 filters which allow the presence of a bright low temperature blackbody component (kT = .05 - .40 KeV); and a phase resolved ME spectrum which must have two or more components when the source is bright. New optical ephemerides show that the X-ray and optical pulses are in phase at an orbital phase of φ= 0.31.
