Abstract

Context. 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 model, the disc is supposed to be in a hot quasi-equilibrium state.
