[vsnet-chat 1393] Is TW Pic an intermediate polar?

Is TW Pic an intermediate polar?

    Another piece of information from astro-ph.  X-ray observation of TW Pic,
which had been considered to be an intermediate polar, could not reveal
periodic X=ray modulation expected from this type.  The authors suggested
the shorter previously reported period (~2 hr) may represent the orbital
period.  Wow, another gap-edge NL object?  Usual monitoring is probably
encouraged.  The object is at around mag 14-15.
