Bibinfo (this paper at ADS): Eracleous, M., Horne, K. 1996, ApJ 471, 427-446.
Type: Observational: Time-resolved UV spectroscopy.
Object(s): AE Aqr.
Results: Studies of UV flares. Continuum and lines vary together. UV lines lag the companion by about 1/3 of a cycle. Flares can be interpreted as blobs encountering the propeller; work spent expelling the blobs can explain the spin-down.
