We have used HST/COS to obtain a series of 4 FUV (915-2148A) spectroscopic observations of the prototypical dwarf nova U Geminorum during its cooling following a two-week outburst. Our FUV spectral analysis of the data indicates that the…

We have obtained FUV (904 -- 1187 \AA) spectra of U Gem in outburst with FUSE. Three of the observations were acquired during the plateau phase of the outburst, while the fourth was obtained during late outburst decline. The plateau spectra…

We have used FUSE to obtain thirteen observations of the dwarf nova VW Hyi covering the period from the end of a superoutburst through the following normal outburst of the system. Here, we present the quiescent spectra. They contain at…

We present an analysis of the FUSE spectra of eight high-declination dwarf novae obtained from a Cycle 7 FUSE survey. These DN systems have not been previously studied in the UV and little is known about their white dwarfs (WDs) or…

We present a synthetic spectral analysis of nearly the entire FUV IUE archive of spectra of DNe in or near quiescence. We have examined all of the systems for which S/N permitted an analysis. The study includes 53 systems of all DN subtypes…

We present a spectral analysis of the FUSE spectra of EM Cygni, a Z Cam DN system. The FUSE spectrum, obtained in quiescence, consists of 4 individual exposures (orbits): two exposures, at orbital phases phi ~ 0.65 and phi ~ 0.90, have a…

We obtained Hubble GHRS medium resolution (G160M grating) phase-resolved spectroscopic observations of the prototype dwarf nova U Geminorum during dwarf nova quiescence, 13 days and 61 days following the end of a narrow outburst. The…

We have carried out a combined Hubble Space Telescope (HST/GHRS) and Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer FUSE) analysis of the prototype dwarf nova SS Cygni during quiescence. The FUSE and HST spectra were obtained at comparable times…

In this paper we report the discovery of a high energy component of the X-ray spectra of U Gem, which can be observed while the source is in outburst. We used Chandra and XMM-Newton observations to compare the quiescence and outburst X-ray…

We have obtained Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (905-1187 Angstrom) spectra of the non-magnetic cataclysmic variable Z Cam during a period of quiescence. The spectrum resembles that of a hot (57,000 K) metal-enriched white dwarf. A…

We present a 904-1183 A spectrum of the dwarf nova VW Hydri taken with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer during quiescence, eleven days after a normal outburst, when the underlying white dwarf accreter is clearly exposed in the far…

Since the large amplitude 2007 outburst which heated its accreting, pulsating white dwarf, the dwarf nova system GW Librae has been cooling to its quiescent temperature. Our Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet spectra combined with…

The short-period cataclysmic variable WZ Sge underwent its first dwarf nova outburst in 23 years in 2001 July. Here we describe 905-1187 Ang. spectra obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) during the outburst and…

We present spectroscopic observations of the short-period cataclysmic variable SW Ursa Majoris, obtained by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite while the system was in quiescence. The data include the resonance lines…

Far ultraviolet (FUV) observations are excellent probes of the inner accretion disk, disk outflows, and the mass-accumulating white dwarf in cataclysmic variables. Here we study the contrasting behavior of two canonical dwarf novae in…

We present the last HST/STIS E140M FUV spectrum (1150-1725A) of the dwarf nova (DN) WZ Sge, obtained in July 2004, 3 years following the early superoutburst of July 2001. Single white dwarf (WD) synthetic spectral fits (log{g}=8.5) to the…

We present a synthetic spectral analysis of IUE archival and FUSE FUV spectra of the peculiar dwarf nova WW Ceti. During the quiescence of WW Ceti, a white dwarf with Twd=26,000K can account for the FUV flux and yields the proper distance.…

We follow the time dependent thermal evolution of a white dwarf (WD) undergoing sudden accretion in a dwarf nova outburst, using both simulations and analytic estimates. The post-outburst lightcurve clearly separates into early times when…

Following an outburst in 2001 July, the UV flux of WZ Sge has declined slowly toward pre-outburst levels. Here, we describe new 1150-1710 Angstrom HST/STIS spectra of WZ Sge obtained between 2002 April and 2003 March to follow the decline.…

We report the detection of a large amplitude MIR outburst in the white dwarf (WD) 0145+234 in the NEOWISE Survey data. The source had a stable MIR flux before 2018, and was brightened by about 1.0 magnitude in the W1 and W2 bands within…
