ULTRACAM observations of SDSS J170213.26+322954.1 - an eclipsing cataclysmic variable in the period gap.

Abstract (from CDS):
The secondary star is significantly less massive than expected for the orbital period, and significantly warmer than expected for its mass. This can be explained if the secondary star is significantly evolved: the mass and effective temperature are consistent with a secondary star that began mass transfer with a greatly reduced central hydrogen fraction. The nature of the secondary star in SDSS J1702+3229 supports predictions that CVs with evolved secondary stars might be found accreting within the period gap.
