We present an analysis of far-UV observations of V471 Tauri made during the first ORFEUS mission. Combining this spectrum with archival data from IUE allows a first unambiguous measurement of the effective temperature and surface gravity of the white dwarf by matching the observed Lyman line profiles to the predictions of stellar model atmosphere calculations (Teff = 32400 + 270/— −800K and log g ...
