E. Abstract A series of spectrophotometric scans obtained with a 4.5 m multiple mirror telescope and a 2.3 m reflector is reported. Broad-band polarimetry obtained with the 2.3 reflector is also discussed. All observations were obtained between 1980 June 15-September 5, during which time the object was apparently in a consistent low state near 15th magnitude. Ultraviolet observations with the International Ultraviolet Explorer satellite were obtained on June 30. Attention is given to the polarized continuum radiation, the emission-line radiation, the secondary star, and the magnetic white dwarf photosphere. Much of the absorption observed in connection with the Zeeman absorption spectrum may be explained by hydrogen in a dominant magnetic field strength near 13 megagauss.
