White dwarfs in cataclysmic variables
EM Sion - Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
Prior to the last 15 years, the literature on cataclysmic variables (CVs) contained little on the
properties of the underlying white dwarf accreter other than estimates of their masses. They …

Effective temperatures of cataclysmic-variable white dwarfs as a probe of their evolution
We present HST spectroscopy for 45 cataclysmic variables (CVs), observed with HST/COS
and HST/STIS. For 36 CVs, the white dwarf is recognisable through its broad Ly α absorption …
