It has obviously high helium-abundance so may be a transition object between CVs and AM CVn stars. Note however that its mass ratio is a fair bit higher than one would expect a bona fide AM CVn to have at the same orbital period, so it should be a stronger GW sources as a result. This one shows outbursts; the mag (g) is the quiescent value from SDSS. Paper Carter et al 2013 (TRM) ===== V485 Cen == Little studied. Only [[ADS>1996A&A...311..889A|Augusteijn et al. (1996)]]. Vmag is in quiescence. (PJG) ===== EI Psc ===== Unusual system with an evolved and still quite hot mass donor star which is probably helium rich (i.e. potential AM CVn progenitor) [[ADS>2002ApJ...567L..49T|Thorstensen et al (2002)]]. The masses and inclination are subject to the usual uncertainties associated with non-eclipsing cataclysmic variables. The Vmag is that for quiescence; in outburst the system is about 5 mags brighter (TRM). ===== SDSS J1507+5230 ===== An eclipsing cataclysmic variable that has evolved to below the orbital period minimum and is a potential AM CVn progenitor [[ADS>2005AJ....129.2386S|Szkody et al 2005]]. The magnitude given is in quiescence out of eclipse. (TRM) ===== GW Lib ===== ZZ Ceti (pulsating) white dwarf in a cataclysmic variable [[ADS>2004MNRAS.350..307V|van Zyl et al 2004]] (TRM). ===== WZ Sge ===== Distance quoted as priv comm from John Thorstensen in [[ADS>2003ApJ...592.1137S|Sion et al 2003]]\\ Masses derived from Doppler Tomography during the 2001 outburst [[ADS>2001ApJ...562L.145S|Steeghs et al 2001]]\\ The V mag is that for quiesence\\ ===== SDSS J0903+3300 ===== Eclipsing cataclysmic variable from the SDSS [[ADS>2005AJ....129.2386S|Szkody et al 2005]]. Note that the period quoted in [[ADS>2005AJ....129.2386S|Szkody et al 2005]] is too short (TRM).
