Scientific paper
IUE data are presented on three AM Her stars (CW 1103 + 254, E1114 + 182, and PG 1550 + 191) which are used in conjunction with optical and IR fluxes to study the accretion characteristics of these systems in relation to other polars.The time-resolved IUE spectra of CW 1103 show that the column contributes little to the UV, while the white dwarf, with a temperature of approximately 13,000 K and a distance of approximately 140 pc, is the dominant source of light. Thus, CW 1103 at its normal state is basically very similar to VV Pup at its low accretion state, except for increased IR emission that is not connected to the accretion column or the secondary. E1114 also appears to be a low UV emitter, but better data are needed to constrain the observed temperature. On the other hand, PG 1550 has a steeper UV distribution, with a possibility for a hot Rayleigh-Jeans component at wavelengths less than 1600 A. This source is very similar to E1405-451 and AM Her itself.
