High-speed energy-resolved STJ photometry of the eclipsing dwarf nova IY UMa

/ Abstract
We present high-time-resolution photometry of the dwarf nova IY UMa using the S-Cam2 superconducting tunnel junction device attached to the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope on La Palma. Exploiting the well-defined white dwarf and hotspot eclipse features, we derive an updated orbital ephemeris for IY UMa and an orbital period of 0.073 908 97(5) d. A white dwarf ingress/egress duration of 31 ± 2 s along with the contact phases of the bright-spot
