Abstract
Seven UV spectra (1150-3200 A) of AM Her were obtained with the low-resolution spectrometer of the IUE satellite. It is found that strong emission features appear to be superimposed on a well-defined continuum, which is fitted well by a lambda to the -2nd law. Observations are compared with expectations from models of the source.
