Monitoring requested for seven intermediate polars
Abstract:
Monitoring seven intermediate polar cataclysmic variables to obtain better coverage over sufficient timescales. Nightly coverage will help identify low states (drastic decrease in optical flux) and trigger X-ray observations to better understand white dwarf properties.
Justification:
Monitor systems for low states to trigger X-ray observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton. Analyze temporal signatures to understand dominant accretion mechanisms causing magnitude dips.
