Description
Current measurements of X-ray luminosity functions of dwarf novae contain biases due to high X-ray flux sources. We have obtained Suzaku, XMM-Newton and ASCA observations of nearby DNe which have parallax-based distance measurements, and carried out X-ray spectral analysis for these sources. Our primary goal is to derive a reliable X-ray luminosity function for this sample, and to compare it with existing X-ray luminosity functions. We briefly introduce the source sample and preliminary results.
