V902 Mon observations needed to support XMM-Newton observation

Active Dates: Oct. 10, 2017 – Oct. 19, 2017


Abstract:

The campaign aims to verify the nature of V902 Mon as an intermediate polar (IP) by verifying modulations at the white dwarf spin period (~37 min) in multiple wavelengths. If confirmed, V902 Mon would be the eclipsing IP with the longest known orbital period (8.162 hours).

Justification:

Confirm its nature as an IP by verifying modulations at the white dwarf spin period, and determine its state during the XMM-Newton observation to shed more light on the accretion geometry. X-ray underluminous behavior compared to other IPs is also to be studied.
