****************************************************** PR # 45 FO Aqr (H2215$-$086) is an intermediate polar with a 4.85 hr orbitalperiod and a 20.9 min (magnetic) white dwarf spin period. It is a known hard X-ray source whose flux varies on orbital, spin and beatperiods. With this ASCA observation, we will perform timing studiesin various energy bands, particularly at 1 to 2 keV which has notbeen well studied so far. We will also study the spectra, particularlythe possible leaky absorber nature of the source and the Fe emissionline. ******************************************************
