Scientific paper

The principal results of a photometric investigation of Nova 1934 DQ Her during 1982 1995 are presented. Simultaneous high-speed UBVRI photometry was used to investigate for the first time the behavior of its brightness on time scales from several days to several years. Relationships are found between the changes in brightness of DQ Her in various regions of the spectrum and the corresponding changes in the energy distribution of its radiation. The observed variations in brightness of the system are caused by the variability in the radiation from the accretion disk with the white dwarf at the center. The brightness variations on the time scale of several days to several dozen days, may be caused by changes in the rate of accretion from the disk onto the white dwarf due to inherent disk instability or by irregular delivery of material in the jet from the red dwarf. Cyclic variations in brightness of DQ Her with an amplitude of several tenths of a magnitude and a characteristic time of about 5 yr, as well as the cyclic variations of the parameter "O-C" with the same characteristic time and amplitude of about 2 4 min may be the response of the accretion disk to activity of the red dwarf itself.
