On the ultimate fate of AM Her stars.

MEYER F. and MEYER-HOFMEISTER E.

Abstract (from CDS):

We suggest, that the magnetic field of the white dwarf in AM Her systems loses coupling to the secondary star when the latter becomes non-magnetic at the transition from a late main sequence star to a cool degenerate brown dwarf. This leads to spin-up of the primary white dwarf. After synchronous rotation is lost the systems do not appear as AM Her stars anymore. We discuss the further evolution of such systems.
