Scientific paper

Seven new magnetic cataclysmic variables have been found amongst the EUV sources discovered in the ROSAT Wide Field Camera (WFC) all-sky survey. Follow-up studies of these objects have now been made, yielding the orbital periods and classifications for all but one. Six objects are confirmed, or likely, polar systems, one is an intermediate polar. The properties of this new, EUV-selected sample are reviewed and compared with those of known polars and intermediate polars. The unusual features of the most interesting objects in the sample are briefly discussed.
