UNVEILING X-RAY TEMPORAL AND SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF NEW INTERMEDIATE POLARS

We propose to observe the new Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables UU Col,RXJ10390507 and RXJ0944+0357 to assess their Intermediate Polar (IP) nature.The large throughput of XMM allows detailed temporal and spectral studies of IPsto fluxes at which previous satellites could only provide basic information. Theproposed systems encompass a wide range of soft to hard Xray flux ratios anddegrees of asynchronism, thus representing a challenge to our understanding ofaccretion processes in presence of magnetic fields and of the evolution ofmagnetic Cataclysmic Variables. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
