Abstract

We have obtained FUSE spectra of several dwarf novae which reveal the properties of their accreting white dwarfs, their rates of accretion during quiescence and the nature of their boundary layer/inner disk regions including accretion belts on the white dwarfs. Among the systems for which preliminary results will be presented are BV Cen, WW Ceti, EY Cyg, SS Aur and VW Hyi. The contribution of these FUSE studies to our understanding of disk accretion physics will be emphasized within the context of the white dwarf and boundary layer.
