Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables Discovered in the Palomar Transient Factory

Bruce Margon, David Levitan, Thomas A. Prince, Gregg Hallinan, the PTF Collaboration

Published 2013-04-16Version 1

The Palomar Transient Factory proves to be a prolific source of Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables, selected by their distinctive photometric variability, and followed up spectroscopically. Here, we present six new candidate systems, together with preliminary photometric periods and spectra.
