| contents | 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 oscillations in brightness during the standstill in AT Cnc, with small amplitude variations of 0.03 - 0.04 mag and periodicity of $\approx 20-30$ min. Based on the estimated derredened color index (B - V )0, we calculate the color temperature for both states of the two objects. During the transition from the outbursts to the standstill's state Z Cam varies from bluer to redder, while AT Cnc stays redder in both states. We calculate some of the stars' parameters as: the radii of the primary and secondary components, and the orbital separation for both objects. We construct the profiles of the effective temperature in the discs of the two objects. Comparing the parameters of both systems, we see that Z Cam is definitely the hotter object and we conclude it has a more active accretion disk. |
