I present, brief status reports on three large observational projects that are designed to test our current understanding of the evolution of cataclysmic variables (CVs): The spectroscopic selection of new CVs in the Hamburg Quasar Survey, the search for pre-CVs based on Sloan colours and UK Schmidt/6dF multiobject spectroscopy, and the identification of CVs that descended from supersoft X-ray binaries using a HST/STIS far-ultraviolet spectroscopic survey.

Resumen

Resumen

Presento un breve informe sobre el estado de tres grandes proyoctos observacionales destinados a verificar nuestra actual comprensión de la evolucion de variables cataclísmicas (CVs): la selección espectroscópica de las nuevas CVs en el Hamburg Quasar Survey, la búsqueda de pre-CVs basándose en los colores de Sloan y en la espectroscopía multi-objeto UK Schmidt/6dF y la identificación de CVs que proceden de binarias de rayos X supersuaves, utilizando el “survey” espectroscópico en el ultravioleta lejano del HST/STIS.
