We report a resonant magnetic x-ray scattering study on the antiferromagnetic heavy-fermion superconductor UPd₂Al₃ in the normal state. In addition to the large signal at the U M₄ edge, weak resonant features are observed the at the U M₁, M₂, and M₃ edges which means that the p- and d-projected unoccupied states are magnetically polarized. The azimuthal angle dependence at the M₄ edge is consistent with the known magnetic structure if three magnetic domains are taken into account.
