Constraining the evolution of cataclysmic variables via the masses and accretion rates of their underlying white dwarfs

We report on the masses (M-WD), effective temperatures (T-eff), and secular mean accretion rates (< M >) of 43 cataclysmic variable (CV) white dwarfs, 42 of which were obtained from the combined analysis of their Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet data wi
