Scientific paper

Time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the dwarf nova AF Cam for 4.5 hr during a decline from outburst reveals that the orbital period is relatively long (5-6 hr). CCD photometry at quiescence also supports this finding. This rules out the previously observed 67-76 min modulations (evident in IR photometric measurements at quiescence and optical photometry at outburst) as orbital in nature.
