[47.02] Analysis of the EUVE Survey Observations of Nova Cygni 1992

J. MacDonald (UD), S. Vennes (CEA)

We present results of applying realistic stellar atmosphere models of hot, near Eddington luminosity, high-gravity stars to the EUVE all-sky survey observations of Nova Cygni 1992. Assuming a distance of 2 kpc and envelope composition appropriate for an ONeMg white dwarf, we find $T_{eff} \; = \; 3.5 \; 10^{5}$ and $N_{H} \; = \; 2 \; 10^{21}$, 280
