Scientific paper

The dwarf-nova phenomenon could result from a local accumulation of hydrogen being accreted onto the surface of a degenerate dwarf near its magnetic poles. Thermonuclear burning in this hydrogen layer would produce a flare. A magnetic field of 3 to 30 megagauss is needed to guide the accretion. The origin of the optical and X-ray emission of dwarf novae is discussed.
