  "abstract": "We examine the relationship between superoutburst duration $t_{\\rm dur}$ and orbital period $P_{\\rm orb}$ in AM CVn ultra-compact binary systems. We show that the previously determined steep relation derived by Levitan et al (2015) was strongly influenced by the inclusion of upper limits for systems with a relatively long orbital period in their fit. Excluding the upper limit values and including $t_{\\rm dur}$ values for three systems at long $P_{\\rm orb}$ which were not considered previously, then $d \\log (t_{\\rm dur})/ d \\log (P_{\\rm orb})$ is flat as predicted by Cannizzo & Nelemans(2015)",
