Abstract

UBV photometry of dwarf novae during the rise to maximum shows, in all cases, U-B colors that are substantially redder than at any other stage. The dwarf nova thus follows a loop in the two-color plane which can be plotted in detail for SS Cyg and VW Hyi. This effect can be understood in terms of the accretion model of dwarf nova outbursts.
