| Abstract |
The connection between accretion and jet production in accreting white
dwarf binary systems, especially dwarf novae, is not well understood.
Radio wavelengths provide key insights into the mechanisms responsible
for accelerating electrons, including jets and outflows. Here, we
present densely sampled radio coverage, obtained with the Arcminute
MicroKelvin Imager Large Array, of the dwarf nova SS Cyg during its 2016
February anomalous outburst. The outburst displayed a slower rise (3 d
mag-1) in the optical than typical ones and lasted for more
than three weeks. Rapid radio flaring on time-scales
