Abstract

AbstractWe present spectropolarimetric observations of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable 1H1752+08. Modelling of the line intensity and polarisation spectra of 1H1752+08 shows that the magnetic field structure of the white dwarf is off-centre and the mean photospheric field strength is about 7 MG, the lowest measured in a cataclysmic variable (CV). We argue that 1H1752+08 is most probably a low-field AM Herculis system.
