Figure 2: Part of the long-term light curve of DW UMa obtained by RoboScope (Honeycutt et al. 2003) with the epochs of our observations marked with the vertical bars and the mean out-of-eclipse magnitudes shown with open squares. Our observations in 2000 have been obtained on the rising branch of a deep low state. For clarity, the RoboScope data obtained during eclipse have been removed. |

Figure 6: Eclipse mapping of DW UMa. a) mean light curves with the best fits. The dotted and the dashed lines are the fits to the unfiltered high state eclipses in 2002 and 2003, respectively, overplotted on the V-band high state one; b-e) accretion disc eclipse maps, the WD's Roche lobe is shown with dotted line and the shadow of the secondary at orbital phases 0.0 and 0.041 with dashed line; f) radial intensity profiles of the accretion disc: open squares - V-band high state, filled squares - V-band intermediate state, and dotted and dashed lines - unfiltered high state in 2002 and 2003, respectively. |

Radial profile of the AD brightness temperature
obtained by using (i) temperature dependent limb-darkening coefficient
- symbols connected with solid lines
and (ii) with constant limb-darkening coefficient of 0.6 -
symbols connected with dash-dotted lines.
The dotted curves show the effective temperature of steady-state
