Scientific paper

This grant funded three IUE projects related to studies of cataclysmic variable stars and their accretion disks, under the IUE Guest Observer and Archival Research Programs. One study acquired and studied ultraviolet spectra of BV Cen, Z Cha, and OY Car, dwarf novae at the extreme ends of the orbital period distribution. The second study used archival spectra to study whether the ultraviolet energy distributions of nova-like variables are adequately described by models of steady-state accretion disks that are based on either Kurucz stellar atmosphere fluxes or blackbody spectra. The third study acquired a spectrum of PG0027+260, an unusual eclipsing cataclysmic variable belonging to the SW Sex subclass.
