Abstract: (arXiv)
A new magnetic, eclipsing cataclysmic variable is identified as the counterpart of the X-ray source RX J0719.2+6557 detected during the ROSAT all-sky survey. The relative phasing of photometric and spectroscopic periods indicates a self-eclipsing system. Doppler tomography points to the heated surface of the secondary as a strong source of emission and of diskless accretion. Near-infrared spectroscopy revealed two unusual strong emission features originating on the heated side of the secondary.
