Scientific paper

The study of radio emission from cataclysmic variables (CVs) is a new and developing field. Radio emission from novae, recurrent novae, dwarf novae and each of the subclasses (AM Her and DQ Her) of magnetic CVs have now been reported and are reviewed here. These observations are shown to provide, in general, a probe of the structure of the CV on length scales typically greater than about 10 to the 11th cm. Radiation mechanisms, both incoherent and coherent, relevant to the observed radio emission are also discussed. These suggest that the red dwarf in AM Her and DQ Her is also magnetized, and support is provided for theories for the evolution of CVs which require a magnetized secondary star.
