Περίληψη :

In this talk, we introduce magnetic cataclysmic variables (MCVs) and the main radiative process that determine its observed emission. We also show some results on time-resolved polarimetry and photometry of specific systems obtained in the Pico dos Dias Observatory (Brazil) using two generations of polarimeters - IAGPOL and SPARC4. The estimate of some MCV physical parameters using the Cyclops code is briefly discussed.
