SDSSp J230351.64+010651.0 bright outburst

  According to Jeremy Shears (baavss-alert message), this CV is undergoing
a bright outburst.  This outburst could be a superoutburst.
Time-resolved photometry is stronly encouraged.

SDSSp J230351.64+010651.0 strong 0.07-d modulations on Sep. 1

   Kyoto observations have revealed that SDSSp J230351.64+010651.0 
showed strong 0.4-mag modulations on September 1, during the
decline stage of the recent outburst.  Although the coverage
is insufficient to determine the accurate periodicity, the recorded
period was close to 0.07 d (consistent with the claimed 100 min
periodicity).  The mean light curve had hump-like, rather than
sinusoidal, features.  The object had faded by 1.2 mag/d since
August 31, and further showed a much slower decline during the
subsequent nights.  The initial fading rate is consistent with
what could be expected for a normal outburst of a 100-min dwarf
nova.

   The presence of strong modulations following a short outburst
resembles that of BZ UMa, a short-period system without recorded
superoutbursts.

   So, the amplitude of the current outburst is (at least)
4.9 mag.  Although this is not well above usual thresholds of
SU UMa-type superoutbursts, the literature description would
make it a suitable target for time-resolved photometry.
The reported "low mass-transfer" for such a period (100 min)
is relatively rare; from the lack of prominent emission from
the hot spot in quiescence, the object may resemble rather
unusual dwarf novae like HT Cas.

   According to Ian Miller, the SDSS dwarf nova SDSSp J230351.64+010651.0
is in outburst.  Szkody et al. describes (AJ 123, 430):

Using the best-fit period of 100 minutes, the phases for H were computed
with the time of the red-to-blue crossing of the emission lines for H
as phase zero. The absence of any eclipse during quiescence or outburst
suggests that SDSS 2303 is a system with a fairly low inclination.

The tomograms of SDSS 2303 are consistent with a low mass transfer rate
system with minimal disk emission and no evidence for a luminous
hot spot near the stream location. 

  The object is V=19.05 in quiescence.
