Scientific paper

Our understanding of Intermediate Polars plays an important role in our understanding of magnetically channelled accretion. Yet we don't understand why most IPs show single-peaked X-ray pulses while others are double peaked. An XMM-Newton observation of V2306 Cyg would be the first XMM observation of a double-peaked system. This will reveal the causes of the spin pulse, whether related to absorption, occultation or electron scattering, and, combined with UV lightcurves and optical polarimetry, will enable us to determine the accretion geometry. By comparison with the other IP observations we are currently analysing, we aim to explain why these two types of IP exist.
