AM Herculis binaries contain mass accreting magnetic white dwarfs which appear as bright X-ray sources in the ROSAT All Sky Survey. About 52 systems are presently known which allow detailed studies of the evolution of magnetic close binaries and of fundamental plasma-physical processes in the accretion region on the white dwarf.
