Intermediate Polars
AO Psc
After Polars were identified, Charles et al (1979) found an
X-ray emitting V~13 star, AO Psc, with an optical spectrum like that of Polars, but without any identifiable polarisation
They also showed variability on three different timescales
now known to be
the orbital,
the spin period of the white dwarf &
the mixture of the two (beat/synodic period)
