[vsnet-alert 15620] QZ Ser another rebrightening!

[Denis Denisenko]

Following [vsnet-alert 15582] I report additional unfiltered
photometry of QZ Ser from MASTER-Amur robotic telescope. Object is
showing abnormal behaviour (similar to AB Nor) in the sense that its
orbital period is ~0.083d, but the outbursts have some features more
typical for WZ Sge-type dwarf novae whose periods are 3/2 times
shorter. QZ Ser doesn't want to return to the quiescent state even one
month after the bright March outburst reported in [vsnet-alert 15480]!

The unusual properties of AB Nor were reported by T. Kato et al.
almost ten years ago in MNRAS paper available at
http://mnras.oxfordjournals.org/content/347/3/861.full (MNRAS Vol.
347, pp. 861-872, 2004). They have noted that AB Nor (together with EF
Peg and V725 Aql) may have low mass-transfer rate comparable to WZ
Sge-type dwarf novae. QZ Ser also has a long superoutburst cycle and
appears to be another extremely interesting member of such "abnormal"
subtype of CVs.
