The object is currently known as a short Porb (~2 hr) object, which is
a good candidate for an SU UMa-type star. However, see
* Kato et al. (2001) IBVS 5123
absence of superhumps during a long outburst
* Kato et al. (2002) A&A 396, 929
unusual clustering of short outbursts
(Click [2001] and [2002] on the VSNET top page to find more detailed
information for these works.)
Both suggest that GZ Cnc may be an unusual object. Further detailed
observations during the present outburst are strongly encouraged!
