Scientific paper

The last decade has shown a surge in research on the Interacting Binary White Dwarf s (IBWDs), or Helium CVs, also called AM CVn systems. We have witnessed long photometric campaigns, time resolved spectroscopy, UV and X-ray observations, and modelling of disc structure, disc atmosphere and their evolution. Recently several new members of the AM CVn family have been added, and a new subclass -double degenerate polars has been identified. A review of the research on AM CVn systems during the last decade is given, and some problems to be solved in the future are presented.
