Z Cam Type: Z Camelopardalis AAVSO lightcurve (2020 ) AAVSO lightcurve (index) Z Camelopardalis-type stars show cyclic outbursts, differing from UGSS variables by the fact that sometimes after an outburst they do not return to the original brightness, but during several cycles retain a magnitude between maximum and minimum. The values of cycles are from 10 to 40 days, while light amplitudes are from 2 to 5 magnitudes in V. AAVSO Alert 539: 1 March 2016 Ms. Deanne Coppejans (PhD candidate, Radboud University Nijmegen (Netherlands) and University of Cape Town) and colleagues have requested AAVSO observer assistance in monitoring several northern dwarf novae in support of their campaign to observe them with the Very Large Array (VLA) in their ongoing radio jet research. Their research on radio jets in dwarf novae has been discussed in AAVSO Alert Notice 505 (https://www.aavso.org/aavso-alert-notice-505). Nightly observations are sufficient to determine whether the source is in outburst or quiescence when a VLA observation is taken. In this campaign, the VLA observations are not triggered by the PI, so there is no way to predict when the VLA will observe the sources. Observers will be notified whenever VLA observations are obtained, but no modification of observing instructions is expected. Nightly visual or V observations are requested beginning now and continuing through June 2016.
