Description
The objective of this study is to make an analysis of the Z-Cam type, cataclysmic variable AH Herculis (AH Her). Specifically, to add any information about the current state of the star that is lacking and to look for changes in the star system over the past fifty years with archival data from the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO). With this information we can better predict the dynamical evolution of cataclysmic variables.
