We report on the eclipse mapping analysis of an ensemble of light curves of the dwarf nova V2051 Oph with the aim to study the spatial distribution of its steady-light and flickering sources. The data are combined to derive the orbital…
We present multi-epoch, time-resolved optical spectroscopic observations of the dwarf nova HT Cas, obtained during 1986, 1992, 1995 and 2005 with the aim to study the properties of emission structures in the system. We determined that the…
We present results from photometric observations of the dwarf nova system HT Cas during the eruption of November 1995. The data include the first two--colour observations of an eclipse on the rise to outburst. They show that during the rise…
In our earlier Paper I we showed that the accretion disc radius of the dwarf nova HT Cas in its quiescent state has not changed significantly during many years of observations. It has remained consistently large, close to the tidal…
We report on the investigation of the spatial distribution of the flickering sources in the dwarf nova V2051 Oph with eclipse mapping techniques. Low-frequency flickering originates in the gas stream and is related to the mass transfer…
We report on the analysis of high-speed photometry of the dwarf-nova HS1804+67 through its outburst cycle with eclipse mapping techniques. Eclipse maps show evidences of the formation of a spiral structure in the disc at the early stages of…
(Abridged) We report on the analysis of high-speed photometry of the dwarf nova EX Dra through its outburst cycle with eclipse mapping techniques. The eclipse maps show evidence of the formation of a one-armed spiral structure in the disc…
We present high-speed, three-colour photometry of the eclipsing cataclysmic variables GY Cnc, IR Com and HT Cas. We find that the sharp eclipses in GY Cnc and IR Com are due to eclipses of the white dwarf. There is some evidence for a…
We report a time-lapse eclipse mapping analysis of B-band time-series of the nova-like variable UU Aqr along a typical stunted outburst in 2002 August. Disc asymmetries rotating in the prograde sense in the eclipse maps are interpreted as a…
We report the analysis of a uniform sample of 31 light curves of the nova-like variable UU Aqr with eclipse mapping techniques. The data were combined to derive eclipse maps of the average steady-light component, the long-term brightness…
We report the analysis of 22 B-band light curves of the dwarf nova V4140 Sgr obtained with SOI/SOAR during two nights along the decline of a superoutburst in 2006 Sep 12-24 and in quiescence over 50 days following the superoutburst.…
EX Draconis is an eclipsing dwarf nova that shows outbursts with moderate amplitude ($\simeq 2$ mag) and a recurrence timescale of $\simeq 20$-30 d. Dwarf novae outbursts are explained in terms of either a thermal-viscous instability in the…
We report the detection of the hot spot in light curves of the eclipsing dwarf nova HT Cassiopeiae during its superoutburst in 2010 November. Analysis of eight reconstructed light curves of the hot spot eclipses showed directly that the…
We report on high speed photometry of EX Dra in quiescence and in outburst. The analysis of the lightcurves indicates that the outbursts do not start in the outer disc regions. The disc expands during rise to maximum and shrinks during…
We follow the changes in the structure of the accretion disk of the dwarf nova V2051 Oph along two separate outbursts in order to investigate the causes of its recurrent outbursts. We apply eclipse mapping techniques to a set of light…
EX Draconis (EX Dra) is a long period dwarf nova showing ~2 mag outburst which lasts for ~7 d and recur on a timescale of (20-30) d. Its deep eclipses allows one to trace the changes in surface brightness and radius of its accretion disk…
We use the Shaviv and Wehrse (1991) code to model the vertical structure and the emission properties of quiescent dwarf nova discs. We find that in the case of HT Cas the quiescent disc must be optically thin, in contradiction with the…
We have reconstructed the temperatures and surface densities in the quiescent accretion disc in HT Cas by performing a "Physical Parameter Eclipse Mapping" analysis of archival UBVR observations. Using a simple hydrogen slab model and…
HS0907+1902 was recently discovered to be one of a handful of deeply eclipsing dwarf novae with periods longward of the 2 -- 3 hr `gap'. This paper presents orbit-resolved spectra and time series photometry of an eclipse. The apparent…
We present high resolution Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet spectroscopy of the dwarf nova EK TrA obtained in deep quiescence. The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph data reveal the broad Ly-alpha absorption profile typical of a…
