Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | POS PROCEEDINGS OF SCIENCE | Volume: | The Golden Age of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects - III (Golden2015) | First Page: | 32 | Abstract: | We present HST/COS spectroscopy for 40 cataclysmic variables (CVs), observed as part of a 122 orbit HST program. In 31 CVs, the white dwarf (WD) is recognisable through its broad Lyα absorption profile and we measure the WD effective temperatures (Teff) by fitting the HST data of these 31 systems assuming log g = 8.35, which corresponds to the average mass for CV WDs (0.8M⊙). Our results nearly double the number of CV WDs with an accurate temperature measurement. | Conference Name: | 3rd Conference on Golden Age of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects | Conference Place: | Palermo | Conference Date: | 7-12 September | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/23466 | URL: | https://pos.sissa.it/255/032/ | ISSN: | 1824-8039 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015gacv.workE..32P | Fulltext: | open |
