Abstract

We use simultaneous multi-wavelength BVRIJHK photometric observations of cataclysmic variables (CVs) to determine the inclination angles of the systems, together with phase-resolved spectroscopy to calculate the K[2] and vsini. We then calculate the masses of the system components. We are using these data to construct mass-radius diagrams of the secondaries in an effort to resolve some of the debate over their evolutionary history.
