Abstract: Spectra of AM Herculis taken with IUE show a continuum which is partially eclipsed in phase with the X-ray eclipse and can be separated into two components; a black-body component (kTBB = 25 − 30 eV) which accounts for the ¼ keV X-rays and the eclipsed UV continuum; and a component roughly described by Fν ∂ ν−1 which is not eclipsed.
