Optical and infrared observations of cataclysmic variable stars
In this thesis I show how flux ratios taken between fiducial orbital phases in the light curves of irradiated CVs can be used to measure the degree of heating of the secondary star. I compare the heating effect obtained from flux ratio analysis with more formal modelling, or by measurements taken fr...
