Scientific paper

TW Pictoris is the optical counterpart of the HEAO-1 X-ray source H0534-581 and has been proposed as a candidate intermediate polar (IP). Yet optical and X-ray observations have failed to reveal the spin modulation, the defining characteristic of an IP. If this is a non-magnetic nova-like variable instead, then it is by far the X-ray brightest member of this class. We therefore propose an XMM-Newton observation in an attempt to solve this mystery.
