Abstract
Photometric, polarimetric and spectroscopic observations are presented for EUVE 11429 - 38.0. Spectroscopically, the systept is dominated by the M2 secondary star but with the emission lines characteristic of a polar in its low state. The photometric data reveal the system to be an eclipsing binary, Porb =4.765 h, with a strong ellipsoidal variation. The eclipse of the hot compact source occurs substantially before inferior conjunction as determined by the ellipsoidal variation. This, together with the eclipse ingress and egress detail, leads to the conclusion that the compact light source eclipsed is not coincident with the white dwarf, but may be associated with the accretion stream.
