Scientific paper

The outburst mechanism of dwarf nova VW Hydri is discussed. Two explanations of ordinary outbursts are proposed. All or most of the matter transferred in quiescence is accreted by the white dwarf, so that the outbursts are due to bursts of mass transfer. Alternatively, all or most of the matter transferred in quiescence is accumulated in the accretion disk, and deposited on the white dwarf by a disk instability during outburst. Superoutburst observations strengthen the suggestions of Bateson (1977) and Marino and Walker (1979) that all superoutbursts are triggered by an ordinary outburst.
