Rapid Oscillations in Cataclysmic Variables. XVII. 1RXS J070407 + 262501

2011
We present a study of the recently discovered intermediate polar 1RXS J070407 + 262501, distinctive for its large-amplitude pulsed signal at P = 480 s. Radial velocities indicate an orbital period of 0.1821(2) days, and the light curves suggest 0.18208(6) days. Time-series photometry shows a precise spin period of 480.6700(4) s, decreasing at a rate of 0.096(9) ms yr-1: i.e., on a time scale =2.5×106 yr. The light curves also appear to show a mysterious signal at P = 0.263 days, which could possibly signify the presence of a superhump in this magnetic cataclysmic variable.
