Abstract We propose five X-ray selected Cataclysmic Variables which, for their largeoptical pulsations, are strong candidates of being members of the magneticIntermediate Polar class. We aim to confirm their true nature by detecting X-raypulses at the white dwarf spin period and determining their spectral properties.These systems cover a wide range of asynchronism and soft-to-hard X-ray ratiosand represent 20% of the entire class, thus a potential for our understanding ofaccretion and evolution of magnetic Cataclysmic Variables.

Mission Description The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
