Late superhumps and the stream-disc impact in IY UMa
arXiv:astro-ph/0009420 · doi:10.1046/j.1365-8711.2001.04248.x
Abstract
We use the hot spot eclipse times of the newly discovered deeply-eclipsing dwarf nova IY UMa to trace out the shape of its disc during the late superhump era. We find an eccentric disc. We show that the brightness of the stream-disc impact region varies as expected with |deltaV|^2, where deltaV is the differential velocity of the stream with respect to the velocity of the disc at the impact point. We conclude that the hot spot is the source of late superhump light.
