Scientific paper

The recurrent nova T CrB is being monitored with IUE since 1978. The UV continuum varies significantly both in slope and intensity and can be represented by a power law λ-α, where α ranges from 0.1 to 1.1. The observed UV luminosities indicate mass transfer rates between 10-7 and 10-8 solar masses per year. The overall behavior of T CrB can be interpreted in terms of (variable) accretion onto a white dwarf, but the radial velocity data apparently indicate a more massive companion.
