SDSS J093249.57+472523.0: new eclipsing SU UMa-type dwarf nova
Enrique de Miguel's report:
===
This target sounded like very interesting when I got
Jeremy's alert. Run started as soon as I got the alert.
The run is not as long as I would've liked. Note that
the target was at Alt~52deg when the run was started
and I ended when the target was literally hiting the
trees .... (Alt~25 deg). This, along with the moonlight
and the faintness of the target, are responsible for
for the relatively large errors in the data.
The run is short but one can guess that the system is
superhumping, with the typical superh structure
that can be seen right after the eclipse.
Actually, it looks like the eclipse is not
as deep as it is reported at quiescence because
the superhump maxima takes place during
the eclipse. This system will then show varying eclipsing
depths depending on the relative position of the superh
maxima and the eclipse minima.
Also noticeable is the substantial (orbital) hump right
after the eclipses.
Using ANOVA, I find P=0.0698 d, which should be viewed
as a tentative value of Psh, provided that one knows
that Porb=0.066303d. The run is short, however, and
this value will surely be refined in the coming runs.
Definitely a nice target that should be given high
priority.
