Scientific paper

Approximately half the luminosity of a typical cataclysmic variable may emerge as an optically thick component peaking in the EUV. Observations of this component are important for understanding the energetics and accretion rates of CV's in general, as well as for understanding the physics of the accretion process. The nature of the turbulent boundary layers and winds of disk accretors and the heating of the white dwarfs by accretion are among the problems which can be addressed by observations in the EUV.
