Scientific paper

Attention is given to the characteristics of the four 'interemediate polar' objects exhibiting optical pulsations, AO Pisc, V1223-Sgr, H2215-086, and 3 AO729 + 103. After interpreting their pulsation phenomena, a discussion is conducted on the existence in these objects of an accretion disk and an accretion column. H2215-086 is singled out for detailed description. The proposed interpretation of the pulsations requires a white dwarf that is sufficiently magnetized to favor an anisotropic accretion along the magnetic field.
