Extract

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. In this model, a white dwarf primary of a semi-detached binary system is surrounded by a disk of gas formed from matter transfered from the secondary, which is a cool dwarf star filling its Roche lobe.
