Patterson, J. ; Branch, D. ; Chincarini, G. ; Robinson, E. L. Abstract The discovery of 33-s pulsations in the 0.1-4.0 keV light curve of the nova-like variable AE Aquarii is reported. These pulsations agree in period and phase with the optical pulsations. The periodicity probably originated from an accretion-induced hot spot on a rapidly rotating, magnetized white dwarf. It is possible that transient pulsations at nearby periods, similar to those seen in the optical light curve, are also present in the X-ray light curve.
