| Abstract: |
We present HST/STIS observations of the polar UZ For obtained during a high state. The ultraviolet and optical spectrum of UZ For can be described by the sum of an optically thin plasma (the accretion stream), a blackbody component (the white dwarf), and cyclotron emission (the accretion column). The detection of cyclotron harmonics in the near-ultraviolet allows a firm determination of the magnetic field strengths of both magnetic poles, B1 = 51 MG and B2 = 74 MG. |
