Scientific paper

The authors report on observations of the dwarf novae SS Cyg and U Gem obtained with the Voyager UV spectrometers in the 500 - 1200 Å region. SS Cyg has been detected in quiescence at a flux level of 9×10-13erg cm-2s-1Å-1 at 1000 Å. U Gem was not detected in quiescence. No emission shortward of the Lyman limit (912 Å) is detected in either star. A far-UV (λeff = 1050 Å) light curve for an outburst in SS Cyg is presented. Evidence for a wind in the Lyman lines of hydrogen is seen in SS Cyg. No evidence of a wind was observed in U Gem.
