Scientific paper

A compilation of recently published values for the mass transfer rates of dwarf binaries is presented. A set of tables is given which represents the results of mass transfer estimates for old novae, novalike variables, dwarf novae, and low-mass X-ray binaries. Mass transfer is considered as a function of the orbital period of the systems. Mass transfer rates of cataclysmic variables listed in the tables were determined by two methods: an estimate of bolometric velocity and an estimate of the ultraviolet and/or optical spectrum compared to a theoretical accretion disk spectrum. The limitations of current methods for estimating mass transfer rates are discussed.
