Relative angular momentum loss of CVs with M1 = 0.83 M⊙ and M2 = 0.65 M⊙, with a constant τ = 100 days (dashed black line) calculated using the empirical relation from Wright et al. (2011, solid orange line). The shaded region corresponds to the period gap for non-polar CVs according to Schreiber et al. (2024). The dashed grey vertical line indicates the lower period gap edge according to Knigge et al. (2011).
