Following the suggestion of Schwope et al that the magnetic cataclysmic variable RX J2115-5840 maybe a near-synchronous polar, we obtained optical polarimetry of this system over a 2 week period. From a power spectrum of the circular…

Schwope et al (1997) suggested that the newly discovered Polar RX J2115-5840 is a near-synchronous system. We have obtained circular polarisation observations of RX J2115-5840 which show that the spin and orbital periods differ by 1.2%. We…

We report the discovery of a new AM Herculis binary (polar) as the optical counterpart of the soft X-ray source RX J1724.0+4114 detected during the ROSAT all-sky survey. The magnetic nature of this V~17 mag object is confirmed by…

The cataclysmic variable SDSSJ 015543.40+002807.2 is confirmed to be a magnetic system of the AM Herculis type. With an orbital period of 87.13 min, it is also the shortest-period eclipsing Polar known. Monitoring with XMM-Newton finds a…

We report observations of a new AM Herculis binary identified as the optical counterpart of the X-ray source RX J1313.2-3259, detected during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). It has an orbital period of 251 min and is strongly modulated at…

We present simultaneous optical polarimetry and X-ray data of the near synchronous polar RX J2115-5840. We model the polarisation data using the Stokes imaging technique of Potter et al. We find that the data are best modelled using a…

We report optical and X-ray observations of the high-field polar RXJ1007.5-2017 performed between 1990 and 2012. It has an orbital period of 208.60 min determined from the ellipsoidal modulation of the secondary star in an extended low…

A new cataclysmic variable is identified as the optical counterpart of the faint and hard X-ray source RX J0757.0+6306 discovered during the ROSAT all-sky survey. Strong double-peaked emission lines bear evidence of an accretion disc via an…

We report the discovery of a new eclipsing polar, CRTS J035010.7+323230 (hereafter CRTS J0350+3232). We identified this cataclysmic variable (CV) candidate as a possible polar from its multi-year Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey (CRTS)…

We report the serendipituous discovery of the new eclipsing polar 2XMMp J131223.4+173659. Its striking X-ray light curve attracted immediate interest when we were visually inspecting the source products of the 2XMMp catalogue. This light…

We report results on the ROSAT-discovered noneclipsing short-period polars RX J0154.0-5947, RX J0600.5-2709, RX J0859.1+0537, RX J0953.1+1458, and RX J1002.2-1925 collected over 30 years. We present accurate linear orbital ephemerides that…

We present the first optical circular and linear polarization measurements of two polar candidates from ROSAT: 1RXS J161008.0+035222 and 1RXS J231603.9-052713. We also present H band near-infrared photometry of the last object. The presence…

We report the discovery of a new, bright (V = 17 mag) AM Her system as the optical counterpart of the soft ROSAT All-Sky-Survey source RX J1846.9+5538 (= 1RXS J184659.4+553834). Optical photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations…

We present imaging circular polarimetry and near-infrared photometry of the suspected ultra-short period white-dwarf binary RX J0806.3+1527 obtained with the ESO VLT and discuss the implications for a possible magnetic nature of the white…

A new magnetic cataclysmic variable is identified as the counterpart of the X-ray source RX J0719.2+6557. The emission lines show radial velocity variations with a period of 98.2 min. This coincides with the period of deep eclipses (up to 4…

RXJ 0501.7-0359 is a new V ~ 17 mag eclipsing polar discovered during the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS). Extensive follow-up observations at X-ray (pointed ROSAT PSPC and HRI observations) and optical (time-resolved photometry and…

We report the first time-resolved photometric and spectroscopic optical observations of the X-ray source RX J2133.7+5107, identified in the ROSAT survey. A clear persistent optical light pulsation is discovered with fast photometry at a…

We report the discovery of a new AM Herculis system as the counterpart of the bright and very soft X-ray source RX J0803.4-4748 found serendipitously in a ROSAT PSPC pointing. Optical photometry showed deep (2 mag) variations with a period…

A new magnetic, eclipsing cataclysmic variable is identified as the counterpart of the X-ray source RX J0719.2+6557 detected during the ROSAT all-sky survey. The relative phasing of photometric and spectroscopic periods indicates a…

We have discovered a new AM Her system as the optical counterpart of the ROSAT All-Sky-Survey source RX J1016.9-4103 (= 1RXS J101659.4-410332). The X-ray spectrum is very soft and the X-ray intensity is strongly modulated with the orbital…
