Abstract
Six non-magnetic cataclysmic variables were detected during the ROSAT WFC survey; four dwarf novae and two nova-like variables. In two dwarf novae (VW Hyi & SS Cyg) the flux evolution through outburst was followed across a broad wavelength range. The two other detections (Z Cam & RX J0640-24) also suggest the presence of distinct luminous EUV emission components; supporting the view that such components are a ubiquitous feature of dwarf nova outbursts. Two bright nova-like variables were detected, but these detections are found to be consistent with the soft tail of the X-ray emission.
