Scientific paper

A radial velocity study of the Hα emission line of the dwarf nova TZ Per is presented. TZ Per has a spectroscopic period of 6.2520+/-0.0096h. With this period and published JHK photometry, a distance of >~380 pc is inferred. This Z Cam star has both slow outbursts and a short outburst cycle, and time-resolved spectra were obtained on both the rise and the decline of a dwarf nova outburst. TZ Per does not obey the relation between orbital period and outburst decline time found by Bailey and calibrated by Szkody & Mattei. This is probably because the disc is hot all the time, relative to dwarf novae such as U Gem or SS Cyg.
