Abstract

The oscillations observed recently in the transient X-ray source A1118-61 are attributed to variations in the magnetic activity of a rotating white dwarf similar to the 11-year solar activity cycle. The transient nature, in analogy with the sun, is attributed to the variation in the strength of the cycle.
