Disk brightness profiles from eclipses
From the eclipse shadows the brightness of each part of the disk can be determined
Behaviour can be followed through an outburst
Changes can be seen in the structure of the disk
In bright states the disk temperature is T µ r 3/4
In faint states the disk temperature has a flatter relation and the effect of the hot spot from the stream impact is evident
