Resumen
We present timing and spectral analysis of a sample of seven hard X-ray selected cataclysmic
variable candidates based on simultaneous X-ray and optical observations collected
with XMM–Newton, complemented with Swift/BAT and INTEGRAL /IBIS hard X-ray data
and ground-based optical photometry. For six sources, X-ray pulsations are detected for the
first time in the range of ∼296–6098 s, identifying them as members of the magnetic class.
Swift J0927.7−6945, Swift J0958.0−4208, Swift J1701.3−4304, Swift J2113.5+5422 and
possibly PBC J0801.2−4625 are intermediate polars (IPs), while Swift J0706.8+0325 is a
short (1.7 h) orbital period polar, the 11th hard X-ray-selected identified so far. X-ray orbital
modulation is also observed in Swift J0927.7−6945 (5.2 h) and Swift J2113.5+5422
(4.1 h). Swift J1701.3−4304 is discovered as the longest orbital period (12.8 h) deep eclipsing
IP. The spectra of the magnetic systems reveal optically thin multitemperature emission
between 0.2 and 60 keV. Energy-dependent spin pulses and the orbital modulation in
Swift J0927.7−6945 and Swift J2113.5+5422 are due to intervening local high-density absorbing
material (NH ∼ 1022 − 23 cm−2). In Swift J0958.0−4208 and Swift J1701.3−4304, a
soft X-ray blackbody (kT ∼ 50 and ∼80 eV) is detected, adding them to the growing group
of ‘soft’ IPs. White dwarf masses are determined in the range of ∼0.58–1.18 M, indicating
massive accreting primaries in five of them. Most sources accrete at rates lower than the
expected secular value for their orbital period. Formerly proposed as a long-period (9.4 h)
nova-like CV, Swift J0746.3−1608 shows peculiar spectrum and light curves suggesting either
an atypical low-luminosity CV or a low-mass X-ray binary.
