Abstract

The strong emission lines in cataclysmic variables are the primary source of information on physical parameters of and the accretion process in these systems. Many examples show that the lines are composed not only from (symmetrical) disc emission, but that additional contribution is provided by isolated, i.e. asymmetric emission sources, distorting the original line profile. In this paper, we study the distribution of these additional components with several system parameters.
