The donor stars of cataclysmic variables
The donor stars of cataclysmic variables
Abstract We carefully consider observational and theoretical constraints on the global properties of secondary stars in cataclysmic variable stars (CVs). We then use these constraints to construct and test a complete, semi-empirical donor sequence for CVs with orbital periods Porbā¤ 6 h. All key physical and photometric parameters of CV ā¦
