Description:
    A sample of 26 dwarf novae was observed in the Stroemgren photometric
    system. The observations were performed on 3 different seasons in 1986
    January, February and July, with a 6-channel photometer attached to
    the 1.5m telescope if the Observatorio Astronomicao Nacional at San
    Pedro Martir, Baja California, Mexico. A number of standard stars were
    observed, and a nearby comparison star was observed for each object.
