Abstract
It is now well established, following the classic work of Smak, Warner and Nather, that discs in dwarf novae possess an anisotropic radiation pattern responsible for the hump, or shoulder, that occurs. prior to eclipse in the quiescent state, and, in systems with suitable inclination such as II Gem, responsible also for the primary eclipse itself. In systems with higher inclination such as Z Cha, the primary eclipse is composed of both this anisotropic disc component and the inner-disc/white-dwarf primary component.
