We present time-resolved photometry of a cataclysmic variable discovered in
the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric Halpha Survey of the northern galactic
plane, IPHAS J062746.41+014811.3 and classify the system as the fourth deeply
eclipsing intermediate polar known with an orbital period of Porb=8.16 h, and
spin period of Pspin=2210 s. The system shows mild variations of its
brightness, that appear to be accompanied by a change in the amplitude of the
spin modulation at optical wavelengths, and a change in the morphology of the
eclipse profile. The inferred magnetic moment of the white dwarf is mu_wd = 6-7
x 10^33 Gcm^3, and in this case IPHAS J0627 will either evolve into a
short-period EX Hya-like intermediate polar with a large Pspin\Porb ratio, or,
perhaps more likely, into a synchronised polar. Swift observations show that
the system is an ultraviolet and X-ray source, with a hard X-ray spectrum that
is consistent with those seen in other intermediate polars. The ultraviolet
light curve shows orbital modulation and an eclipse, while the low
signal-to-noise ratio X-ray light curve does not show a significant modulation
on the spin period. The measured X-ray flux is about an order of magnitude
lower than would be expected from scaling by the optical fluxes of well-known
X-ray selected intermediate polars.Comment: 34 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
