Abstract
We present the results of a study of the eclipsing binary IY UMa (type SU UMa) during its superoutburst of 2004 and in quiescence.We have refined the orbital period of the system. Light curves are presented for various states of activity.We estimate the parameters of IYUMa during the superoutburst and in quiescence for hot-line and spiral-wave models. The spiral-wave model, which takes into account the presence of vertical perturbations in outer parts of the disk, is able to reproduce the light-curve shapes and phases of dips in the out-of-eclipse parts of the binary’s light curves during the outburst both qualitatively and quantitatively.
