Scientific paper

We will perform EPIC observations of two Galactic globular clusters to detect the cataclysmic variables (and other binaries or their progeny) in these clusters. From the spectra (or X-ray colours) and lightcurves we will determine the nature of the X-ray sources, identify the cataclysmic variable orbital periods and detect white dwarf spin periods in the brightest intermediate polars (magnetic cataclysmic variables), to show why cataclysmic variables show fewer outbursts in globular clusters than in the field. The populations, positions and nature of the objects will also help us understand the formation mechanism of cataclysmic variables in globular clusters and to comprehend their possible contribution in slowing the inevitable core collapse of these very dense stellar systems.
