On the masses of cataclysmic variable stars

Masses are derived for the components of 10 short period cataclysmic variable stars. With one exception, the masses of the white dwarf primaries lie in the range 1.2 ± 0.2 M⊙ , and are thus approximately three times heavier than isolated white dwarf stars.
