The π Aqr model (red), with absorption removed and renormalized to the observed mean flux of EX Hya, an intermediate polar (black). The continuum shapes are similar, but the π Aqr emission lines are weaker relative to the continuum, especially the He-like features, which also have a much lower He- to H-like ratio.
