On the Masses of the Secondary Stars in CVs
Abstract
Description
Recent theoretical efforts have made predictions for the masses of the secondary stars in cataclysmic variables. Accurate observational determinations for M$_2$ are sparse and typically have uncertainties near $\pm$0.1M$_{\odot}$. How well do theory and observation agree?
