On the Masses of the Secondary Stars in CVs

arXiv:astro-ph/0109440

Abstract

Recent theoretical efforts have made predictions for the masses of the secondary stars in cataclysmic variables. Accurate observational determinations for M are sparse and typically have uncertainties near 0.1M. How well do theory and observation agree?
