The multi-wavelength properties of the highly transient no valike variable AE Aqr makes it an ideal laboratory for the study of accretion related astro physical fluid dynamics. It consists of a fast rotating highly magnetic white dwarf (WD) orbiting , and accreting mass, from a low-mass main sequence companion. The WD is spinning down at a rate ̇ p∼ 5.64×10−14 s s−1, corresponding to a spin-down luminosity of Lsd ∼ 6 × 1033 erg s−1. The system is in a propeller state, and most of its emission properties are associated wi th the propeller process. It has been detected in almost all wavelengths, with the optical emissi on dominated by emission from the companion. We have analysed its X-ray spectra using contemp oranous Chandra and Swift X-ray data. The results of this study show that the X-ray emission h as both thermal and non-thermal characteristics. The associated energy ( kT) range is∼ 0.2-3.8 keV and power-law index for the non-thermal part isp ∼ 2.2. In this paper, results related to the Chandra and Swift X -ray spectroscopy, based on the constraints of the thermal and no -thermal emission mechanisms, will be presented.
