Scientific paper

An unexpected large fraction of Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) has been identified as optical counterparts of hard X-ray sources in the INTEGRAL and Swift surveys. Most of them belong to the magnetic class of the Intermediate Polars (IPs), suggesting a potentially important role in the study of galactic populations of X-ray sources. To date many new CVs still need to be properly classified. Here we propose to observe 6 new hard X-ray CV systems to detect X-ray pulsations at the white dwarf rotational period which, together with their spectral properties, will provide firm constraints on their suspected magnetic nature.
