Z Camelopardalis (Z Cam) stars are a subset of dwarf novae distinguished by the occurrence of standstills, periods of relative constant brightness one to one and a half magnitudes fainter than maximum brightness. As part of an ongoing…

The Cataclysmic Variable Section of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) has initiated an observing campaign to study a subset of dwarf novae (DNe), known as Z Cam type (UGZ). We call this program the Z CamPaign.…

The defining characteristic of Z Cam stars are standstills in their light curves. Some Z Cams exhibit atypical behaviour by going into outburst from a standstill. It has previously been suggested that UY Pup had been a Z Cam star, but it…

Z Cam dwarf novae are distinguished from other dwarf novae based on the appearance of so called 'standstills' in their long-term optical light curves. It has been suggested previously that WW Cet might be a Z Cam type dwarf nova, but this…

In recent astronomical discussions, attempts have been made to link the known dwarf nova Z Cam to historical celestial events, particularly the "guest star" phenomenon reported in China in 77 BCE. Despite other suggestions and the problems…

IX Vel has been considered as one of the prototypical novalike cataclysmic variables with thermally stable accretion disks. Using All-Sky Automated Survey (ASAS-3) and All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) observations, I found…

We show that the disc instability model can reproduce all the observed properties of Z Cam stars if the energy equation includes heating of the outer disc by the mass-transfer stream impact and by tidal torques and if the mass-transfer rate…

Recent observations of two unusual Z Cam systems, V513 Cas and IW And have shown light curves that seem to contradict the disc-instability model for dwarf novae: outbursts are appearing during standstills of the system when according to the…

Long term optical monitoring of the dwarf nova OQ Car has been conducted to study the previously unknown behaviour of this star system. The observations have shown OQ Car to have frequent dwarf nova outbursts and revealed the first recorded…

We report follow-up studies of 35 recently-discovered cataclysmic variables (CVs), 32 of which were found in large, automated synoptic sky surveys. The objects were selected for observational tractability. For 34 of the objects we present…

I found that V507 Cyg, IM Eri and FY Vul are Z Cam-type dwarf novae and they showed sequences of standstill terminated by brightening, in contrast to fading in ordinary Z Cam stars, followed by damping oscillation. These sequences are…

Z Cam variables are a subclass of dwarf nova that lie near a global bifurcation between outbursting ("limit cycle") and non-outbursting ("standstill") states. It is believed that variations in the secondary star's mass-injection rate…

Of the approximately 400 known Galactic classical novae, only ten of them, the recurrent novae, have been seen to erupt more than once. At least eight of these recurrents are known to harbor evolved secondary stars, rather than the main…

Photometry of Leo5 = 1H 1025+220 show that it is a dwarf nova of the Z Cam subtype. Two long standstills have been observed in the last five years.

There are now four dwarf novae known with white dwarf primaries that show large amplitude non-radial oscillations of the kind seen in ZZ Cet stars. We compare the properties of these stars and point out that by the end of the Sloan Digital…

IW And was discovered as a unique blue variable, which spends 72% of time in "inactive" state, and was only occasionally observed in bright or faint states. Although the past spectroscopy confirmed that the object is a cataclysmic variable…

We present our results on two Z Cam stars: Z Cam and AT Cnc. We apply observational data for the periods that cover the states of outbursts and standstills, which are typical for this type of objects. We report an appearance of periodic…

Although the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has permitted the discovery of an increasing number of new ZZ Ceti stars, recent published analyses have shown that there are still many relatively bright (V < 17) ZZ Ceti stars waiting to be found. We…

We studied the IW And star V507 Cyg using ASAS-SN data, ZTF data and our snapshot photometry. The star has been found to be in a long standstill in 2020 May-2022 March (and it still continues now). Such long-lasting standstills have been…

The secular variation in the interval of outbursts in the following six Z Cam-type dwarf novae (including the subtype IW And-type) is investigated: Z Cam, RX And, AH Her, HL CMa, SY Cnc, and WW Cet. An analysis using the $O-C$ diagram shows…
