Abstract:
We present an overview of the UV spectral properties of old novae as a
class. The data and results of this paper, together with data from the
outburst phases, will be utilized in a follow-up study to determine
statistical properties and to investigate correlations among the
physical parameters of the quiescent and eruptive phases.
Description:
All the available IUE, HST, and FUSE archive data for 18 old novae
were used to derive accurate and homogeneous estimates of the
reddening from the 2175Å extinction bump and to determine the
intrinsic spectral energy distribution corresponding to the
utilization of both existing extinction curves. We also measured all
the emission and absorption lines.
