Model of bursts and flare-ups activities (Kononov et al. 2008, Boneva et al. 2009) Mass transfer and disturbances in the disc’s flow stronger emission during the development of the outburst Flow transformations, wave pattern formation Gas is leaving the toroidal shell; it forms an expanding spherical shell around the accretor angular momentum transportation efficiency raise; accretion rate onto the binary increases strong heating of the gas between the toroidal shell and the accretor growing intensity of the white dwarf radiation a toroidal shell (C) forms around the accretor (A) heating of the nearest parts of accretion disc growth of the inner parts thickness

Under Discussion; remarks Pmax depends on the number of dust grains along the line of sight to the star the state of polarization of the emitted light in general provides information on various spatial anisotropies of the excited system polarization parameters could give us information about the basic properties and structures of the flares material degree of polarization depends on the inclination of the disc, and the wavelength dependence of polarization gives information on the size of the scatterers X Serbian-Bulgarian Astronomical Conference (X SBAC): 30.
