An Illustration of Modeling Cataclysmic Variables: HST, FUSE, SDSS Spectra of SDSSJ080908.39+381406.2

Abstract

We use FUSE, HST, and SDSS spectra of the cataclysmic variable SDSSJ0809 to illustrate procedures for calculating and testing system models. Our final model has an accretion disk temperature profile similar to the SW Sextantis profile determined from tomographic reconstruction.
