Description

I present preliminary results of a follow-up study on Dwarf Novae identified by the Catalina Transient Survey. Photometric observations were performed on the 1m and 1.9m reflector telescopes of the South African Astronomical Observatory. The properties determined by this study are vital in understanding binary evolution and constraining binary synthesis models.
