Scientific paper
We propose to continue our very successful program of XMM-Newton observations of new magnetic CVs found in the SDSS. Results from the past 3yrs include: finding X-rays from the lowest accretion rate magnetic accretors originate only from the companion M star; showing the structure of eclipsed accretion columns; revealing spin pulses in new IPs and flaring in other systems. We propose continuing this work on 7 new systems found in the latest SDSS data, including 2 confirmed Polars and 1 confirmed IP. We exploit the high sensitivity of XMM-Newton to construct good light curves to delineate the geometry of the accretion column or spin of the white dwarf, and the large energy coverage to determine the shock vs blob heating in low accretion rate regimes which are a large fraction of magnetic CVs.
