Abstract
SS Cyg is the brightest known and therefore best studied classical dwarf nova and it was the first one from which X-ray radiation was discovered. SS Cyg is unique because it has been detected at very wide range of energies, from a few eV up to ⋃ 10 keV (Jones & Watson 1992). It was chosen as the first cataclysmic variable for X-ray observations with the Japanese satellite ASCA. Simultaneous optical photometric and spectroscopic observations were also provided for completeness of the study.
