X-ray and optical observations of 2 new cataclysmic variables

The light curves and spectra of two ultra soft X-ray sources are presented. The sources, WGAJ 1047.1+6335 and WGAJ 1802.1+1804 were discovered during a search using the Rosat position sensitive proportional counter (PSPC). The X-ray spectra of both objects show an unusually strong black body component with respect to the harder bremsstrahlung component. Based on the optical observations and on the analysis of the X-ray data, the two objects are identified with new AM Her type cataclysmic variables.
