Quasi-periodic oscillations in magnetic Cataclysmic Variables: Results for V834 Cen

Abstract

We present the first results from a recent campaign to search for and characterise quasi-periodic oscillations in Polars. A brief review of the current theoretical model is given. Power density spectra and time frequency representations of the rapid variability in the optical light from one of the prototypical Polars, V834 Cen, are presented and discussed. We conclude by discussing the planned future work of this campaign towards advancing the understanding of QPOs in mCVs.
