Scientific paper

From about 30 dwarf novae with the best determined distances the following relationships are found. (1) A tight correlation between absolute magnitude at maximum light, Mv(max), and orbital period, P. (2) A correlation between Mv(min) and P showing wide scatter. (3) A correlation between Mv(mean), the mean absolute magnitude averaged over normal outbursts, and P, again with wide scatter. The scatter is shown to correlate strongly with outburst timescale Tn. (4) A strong correlation between range, Mv(min) - Mv(max), and Tn (the Kukarkin-Parenago relationship). (5) A strong correlation between range Mv(mean) - Mv(max), and both Tn and P.
