The SWP spectrum displays a broad Ly alpha absorption profile, which can be fitted with a two-temperature model of a white dwarf of T(wd) = 15 000 K with a hot spot of T(spot) = 34 000 K which covers f similar to 0.01 of the white dwarf surface. The white dwarf temperature is atypically low for the long orbital period (4.18 h) of RXJ1313.2-3259. This low temperature implies either that the system is a young CV in the process of switching on mass transfer or that it is an older CV found in a prolonged state of low accretion rate, much below that predicted by standard evolution theory. In the first case, we can put a lower limit on the life time as pre-CV of 10(8) yrs. In the second case, the good agreement of the white dwarf temperature with that expected from compressional heating suggests that the system has experienced the current low accretion rate for an extended period > 10(4) yrs. A possible explanation for the low accretion rate is that RXJ1313.2-3259 is a hibernating post nova and observational tests are suggested."],["dc.identifier.isi","000085921500026"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/40535"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Edp Sciences S A"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-6361"],["dc.title","RX J1313.2-3259, a missing link in CV evolution?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Of the 11 polars, eight were found in a state of low accretion activity (V347 Pav, VV Pup, V834 Cen, BL Hyi, MR Ser, ST LMi, RX J1554.2+2721, and V895 Cen) and three in a state of high activity ( CD Ind, AN UMa, and UW Pic). The STIS spectra of the low-state polars unambiguously reveal the photospheric emission of their white dwarf (WD) primaries. We have used pure hydrogen WD models to fit the FUV spectra of the low-state systems (except RX J1554.2+2721, which is a high-field polar) in order to measure the WD effective temperatures. In all cases, the fits could be improved by adding a second component, which is presumably due to residual accretion onto the magnetic pole of the WD. The WD temperatures obtained range from 10,800 to 14,300 K for log g = 8.0. Our analysis more than doubles the number of polars with accurate WD effective temperatures. Comparing the WD temperatures of polars with those of nonmagnetic CVs, we find that at any given orbital period the WDs in polars are colder than those in nonmagnetic CVs. The temperatures of polars below the period gap are consistent with gravitational radiation as the only active angular momentum loss mechanism. The differences in WD effective temperatures between polars and nonmagnetic CVs are significantly larger above the period gap, suggesting that magnetic braking in polars might be reduced by the strong field of the primary. We derive distance estimates to the low-state systems from the flux scaling factors of our WD model fits. Combining these distance measurements with those from the literature, we establish a lower limit on the space density of polars of 1.3 x 10(-6) pc(-3)."],["dc.identifier.isi","000227740900050"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/54392"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Iop Publishing Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-637X"],["dc.title","Far-ultraviolet spectroscopy of magnetic cataclysmic variables"],["dc.type","review"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
