Scientific paper

We propose to perform Chandra LETGS observations of SS Cygni in outburst to measure the spectrum of the EUV/soft X-ray component---the ``big blue bump''--of its boundary layer radiation. These data will be used to determine or constrain the physical conditions (temperature, density, velocity field) of the boundary layer plasma; the role, if any, of radiation transport (e.g., scattering in the system's accretion disk wind) in determining the observed spectrum; and the characteristics (period, coherence, harmonic content, spectrum) of the quasi-coherent EUV oscillations, thereby constraining their cause.
