The source was observed two times, in 1997 and in 1999. A phase-averaged X-ray flux of 1.1 × 10?11 ergs cm?2 s?1 and pulsation period of 1549.1 ± 0.4 s were consistently obtained from these two observations. The X-ray spectrum was represented by a flat absorbed power-law with a photon-index of Γ ? 0.8 and an absorption column density of NH ? 1.3×10 22 cm?2. Also, a signature of iron K-shell line emission with a centroid of 6.7 keV and an equivalent width of approx- imately 450 eV was detected. From the pulsation period and the iron-line feature, AX J183220?0840 is likely to be a magnetic white dwarf binary with a complexly absorbed thermal spectrum with a temperature of about 10 keV. Subject headings: pulsars: general — stars: individual (AX J183220?0840) — stars: rotation — X-rays: stars 1. Introduction Since many X-ray sources in the Galaxy are considered to be compact objects, the population of X-ray sources gives us information
