Abstract
  • CCD photometry of the newly discovered eclipsing dwarf nova IY Ursae Majoris is used to study the physical properties of the accretion disc in the late decline and quiescence stages. Eclipse mapping analysis shows that in these stages the accretion disc is cool with approximately flat radial brightness temperature distribution and $T_{\rm BR}\sim5000-5500$ K. The hot spot is found to lie close along the stream trajectory at distance $0.36a$ and $0.25a$ from the disc center in February and March. The orbital hump strength decreases by ∼30% in a month. Taking the smallest possible size of the hot spot, we derive an upper limit for its brightness temperature, ∼15 900 K and ∼13 800 K, respectively.
