Three evolutionary tracks around the orbital period minimum that illustrate the evolution towards He CVs and subsequently to AM CVn binaries in the plane donor mass versus donor radius. These evolutionary sequences can explain the observed properties of the AM CVn binaries Gaia14aae (green star) and ZTF J1637+49 (yellow star) and the He CV CRTS J1122–1110 (magenta square), which lie within the transition region as shown in Fig. 5. These models have initial post-CE orbital periods, white dwarf and donor star masses, and mass of the helium core of the donor at the onset of mass transfer given by the following values: 1.14 d, 0.90, 1.15, and ≈0.061 M_⊙ (top track); 2.495 d, 1.00, 1.00, and ≈0.043 M_⊙ (middle track); and 1.01 d, 0.87, 1.16, and ≈0.070 M_⊙ (bottom track). The only difference between the AM CVn binaries Gaia14aae and ZTF J1637+49 and the He CV CRTS J1122–1110 is the surface hydrogen abundance, which is still in the detectable regime for the latter.
