Abstract

(Abstract only) Low Accretion Rate Polars are expected to have little to no accretion and therefore flat light curves. But GALEX and ground-based data show otherwise. I will present our UV and optical light curves of three systems (WX LMi, SDSS1031+20 and SDSS1212+01) and the results of our modeling efforts for WX LMi.
