Scientific paper

After reviewing the classification of dwarf novae, we show how observations of eclipsing systems, notably U Geminorum, have informed the current understanding of dwarf nova physics with special reference to the outburst mechanism. Methods for deducing astrophysical information from eclipse light curves are explained. Following a detailed list of all eclipsing dwarf novae currently known to us, the results of observing campaigns on several of these stars are presented; most of these campaigns have involved professional(amateur collaboration. Finally we suggest possible observing projects for amateurs, and indicate the techniques and resources needed.
