Description

Abstract: The X-ray surveys conducted by Swift and Integral have revealed a non-neglible number of Cataclysmic Variables (CV) emitting above 20keV. I will present recent results from the ongoing programme with XMM-Newton on newly discovered sources aiming at identifying their true nature. I will show their temporal and spectral properties with emphasis on new aspects of the X-ray emission of CV systems.
