This group of stars consists of 4 systems, also called helium cataclysmics. Three of them show photometric variations and have been studied by the Whole Earth Telescope (WET), which have revealed multiperiodic light curves showing the signature of g-mode non-radial pulsations on the accreting star. The combination of accretion and g-mode pulsations gives a unique opportunity to test models for the accreator's structural changes in response to accretion. IUE-spectra provide additional physical parameters.
