The dwarf nova dippers

Advances in Space Research, 1988
Previous papers have shown that the dwarf nova OY Car has an extensive vertical disk structure during its superoutbursts. This structure is analogous to that seen in the low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), in that the whole disk flares toward its edge, and there is a bulge or 'dark spot' where the mass transfer stream meets the disk edge.

Dwarf-Nova Outbursts

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996
Outburst mechanisms of dwarf novae are discussed. There is a rich variety in outburst behaviors of non-magnetic cataclysmic variable stars, starting from non-outbursting nova-like stars to various sub-classes of dwarf novae (i.e., U Gem-type, Z Cam-type, and SU UMa-type).

Nova Scorpius 1437 A.D. is now a dwarf nova, age-dated by its proper motion

, 2017
Classical novae are stellar outbursts powered by thermonuclear runaways in the hydrogen-rich envelopes of white-dwarf stars 1,2 , accreted from close-binary red dwarf 3 or red giant 4 companions.

The decay of dwarf nova outbursts

Space Science Reviews, 1985
Simultaneous observations at different wavelengths of the decay of dwarf-nova outbursts, show an earlier return to the quiescence level at shorter wavelengths. These observations, which show completely new aspects of outbursts, can provide strong tests for outburst models and accretion-disc theory.

An ancient nova shell around the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis

Nature, 2007
Cataclysmic variables (classical novae and dwarf novae) are binary star systems in which a red dwarf transfers hydrogen-rich matter, by way of an accretion disk, to its white dwarf companion. In dwarf novae, an instability is believed to episodically dump much of the accretion disk onto the white dwarf.

Recent Observations of Dwarf Novae

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1979
A supermaximum of VW Hydri was observed at the ESO site from Oct. 26 until Nov. 9» 1978. High time resolution polarimetrie and spectroscopic measurements have been obtained. This paper reports on some preliminary results.

Exposed white dwarfs in dwarf novae

2008
Hubble Space Telescope far ultraviolet spectroscopic observations of cataclysmic variable white dwarfs, exposed during dwarf nova quiescence, have yielded a number of new insights on accretional heating, photospheric abundances of the accreted atmosphere and rotational velocities of the underlying degenerates.

Dwarf Novae Eruptions

1985
It is now well established that the eruptions characteristic of dwarf novae result from changes in the luminosity of the accretion disc centred around the white dwarf component of these systems. These luminosity variations are most successfully accounted for by variations in the accretion flow through the disc but the mechanism responsible for this ...

The Dwarf Nova EX Hydrae

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 1974
The object EX Hya is a dwarf nova with a binary period of 98.3 min (Mumford 1964, 1967). Warner (1972, 1973a) has observed two complete cycles of this star with a photoelectric time resolution of 5 sec. These observations suggested that EX Hya can be understood in terms of the model proposed by Warner and Nather (1971) in their discussion of U Gem.
