Scientific paper

The results of UBVRI photoelectric observations of dwarf nova SS Aur are presented. It has been shown that there are quasi-periodic variations in the light curve of the order of 20 - 30 minutes at quiescence. These variations had significant amplitudes at shorter wavelengths. At U and B bands the amplitudes of variations have been ⪆0m.5 and did not depend on the general luminosity of the system. It has been suggested that disk instability or shock waves at hot spots are responsible for the observed quasi-periodic light variations.
