Using XMM-Newton and Optical Photometry to Figure Out CVs

Szkody, P.; Henden, A.; Homer, L.

X-ray light curves from XMM-Newton combined with optical data from the satellite and ground-based observers provide distinctive shapes and periodicities that give information on the correct classification of cataclysmic variables. Our recent data on three SDSS sources with strong helium emission are used to identify a highly magnetic system (a pol…
