Mass estimates in short-period compact binaries
U. Kolb, A. R. King, I. Baraffe
Using stellar models we investigate the relation between mass and the spectral type of the secondary star in low-mass short-period compact binaries such as cataclysmic variables an…

The minimum orbital period in thermal-timescale mass transfer
A. R. King, K. Schenker, U. Kolb +1
We show that the usual picture of supersoft X-ray binary evolution as driven by conservative thermal-timescale mass transfer cannot explain the short orbital periods of RX J0537.7-…

On the late spectral types of cataclysmic variable secondaries
I. Baraffe, U. Kolb
We investigate why the spectral type of most cataclysmic variable (CV) secondaries is significantly later than that of a ZAMS star with the same mean density. Using improved stella…
