ASASSN-15bu: deeply eclipsing SU UMa-type in superoutburst
Enrique de Miguel has reported observations.
His remark is attached.
(Note that the quoted ephemeris does not supersede
the one in vsnet-alert 18228).
Comments: The current eruption is a superoutburst, with large-amplitude
superhumps (~0.4 mag). The best superhump period from this
single run is P_sh=0.08057 d.
The CRTS data at quiescence reveals the eclipsing nature
of this object, with ephemeris:
HJD_min = 2455129.7448(16) + 0.07681908(2) E
It must be a high-inclination object, as the depth of the
orbital eclipses in quiescence is about 2 mag.
Three eclipses are captured in this run.
