Scientific paper

The WZ Sge type dwarf nova GW Lib was discovered in 1983 during its first outburst. The second known outburst occurred in April-May 2007. Data from this outburst were obtained by AAVSO observers in the optical and by Swift in the UV and X-ray bands. As a result, we have obtained the complete, multiwavelength outburst lightcurves of GW Lib, and have compared these to the only similarly complete dwarf nova outburst lightcurves, those of SS Cyg and U Gem. We find that the behaviour of these systems is not identical, and thus that some aspects of the understanding of the hard X-ray emission in DNe may need further exploration.
