Scientific paper

New optically identified Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) have recently increased as candidates the number of Intermediate Polar systems (IPs), making them nowdays a conspicuous and important class for the study of the evolution of magnetic CVs. This is further strengthened by the recent increasing number of detections by the INTEGRAL and Swift satellites of many CVs, most of them of the IP type, giving to IPs a potential role in the study of galactic populations of X-ray sources. We propose to observe 6 new systems recently found to be strong optical pulsators. The detection of X-ray pulses at the white dwarf spin period and their spectral properties will provide firm constraints on their true magnetic nature.
