Astronomers have investigated a nearby cataclysmic variable system known as CTCV J2056-3014 using ESA’s XMM-Newton satellite. Results of the study, presented in a paper published July 28 on the arXiv pre-print repository, indicate that the object is an unusual accretion-powered, intermediate polar containing an extremely fast-spinning white dwarf.
