What is Projected XMM Vision for MCVs about?

The XMM satellite has a scientific payload of 3 EPIC and 2 RGS instruments which provide for both imaging and non-dispersive spectroscopy as well as medium-to-high resolution dispersive spectroscopy, in the soft to medium X-ray bands. The co-aligned OM adds the facility for simultaneous optical and UV studies. In this poster paper we describe the instrumental characteristics of XMM, comparing them to those of ASCA. We also forecast the expected X-ray spectra of a selection of both the Polars and Intermediate Polars by means of simulations based on ASCA model fits.
