Scientific paper

V1500 Cygni, the host system of the brilliant Nova Cyg 1975, contains a strongly magnetic white dwarf primary star, and thus is related to the AM Herculis class of magnetic catalcysmic variable (Polars). This proposed study will attempt to 1) confirm that the energy distribution of the primary is a hot Rayleigh-Jeans spectrum persisting from the nova outburst; 2) search for photospheric features which characterize the field strength and composition of the atmosphere; and 3) search for strong emission features due to CNO-enriched gas which was processed in the nova event and is now being re-accreted by the white dwarf.
