Abstract	V842 Cen underwent a nova eruption in 1986 and in 2008 a period of 57 s has beendetected in optical photometry, likely related with the white dwarf spin makingthe system a strong candidate of the intermediate polar class. We propose to usethe unique capabilities of XMM-Newton to search for X-ray emission andcharacterize the accretion process onto the likely magnetized white dwarf.

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.
