Eracleous et al 1994

Bibinfo (this paper at ADS): Eracleous, M., Horne, K., Robinson, E.L., Zhang, E.H., Marsh, T.R, Wood, J.H. 1994, ApJ 433, 313-331.
Type: Observational: Time-resolved UV spectroscopy and optical photometry.
Object(s): AE Aqr.
Results: Strong (40%), double-peaked 33s pulsation found in the UV, with same shape and phasing as the optical. Phase delay curve establishes the white dwarf origin of the pulses, consistent with a 26,000 K white dwarf photospheric emission. UV emission lines appear unpulsed. Flares do not appear to affect the amplitudes and profiles of the pulses.
