cds-question@unistra.frcataclysmic-variable-starswhite-dwarf-starsastronomical-modelsabsolute-magnitudeWe present an attempt to reconstruct the complete evolutionary path followed by cataclysmic variables (CVs), based on the observed mass-radius relationship of their donor stars. Along the way, we update the semi-empirical CV donor sequence presented previously by one of us, present a comprehensive review of the connection between CV evolution and the secondary stars in these systems, and reexamine most of the commonly used magnetic braking (MB) recipes, finding that even conceptually similar ones can differ greatly in both magnitude and functional form.2011ApJS..194...28Khttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/194/28CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toJ/other/NewA/13.133 : 2MASS photometry of cataclysmic variables (Ak+, 2008)J/other/NewA/12.446 : Absolute magnitudes of cataclysmic variables (Ak+, 2007)J/AJ/132/1221 : VJHK and SDSS photometry of DA white dwarfs (Holberg+,https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/194/28https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/194/28http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/194/28https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/194/28https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/194/28http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/194/28GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapdefaultJ/ApJS/194/28/table2The updated semi-empirical broken-power-law donor sequence for CVsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
