Scientific paper

It is demonstrated that the UV to visual flux distribution of the old nova GK Per can be interpreted as the emerging spectrum from a standard accretion disk, having inner radius R = 13 million cm, and M = 1 X 10 to the 18th power g/sec. The magnetic field (B) at the surface of the white dwarf is 200 million G. Disk models which take into account the effects of the magnetic field on the radial structure of the disk would indicate much lower values of R, specific mass M and B, but fail to account for the observed flux distribution below 1600 A.
