Abstract
UY Pup is a little studied, frequently outbursting dwarf nova whose brightness varies from V ⋃ 13.5 mag in outburst to V ⋃ 15.8 mag in quiescence, which typically lasts ⋃15...25d. We observed it spectroscopically at the INT in La Palma on 1989 Febuary 15 and 16 during outburst maximum. In this outburst, the rise lasted at least 3d and there was a long decline of about 6...9d. The whole outburst lasted about 18d (Mattei, private communication).
