[vsnet-alert 19080] Re: ASASSN-15pu: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova

Dear Taichi,

Sampling rate was every 2 min an image so it was not "low sampling rate".
The period is about 86 min.

Regards,

Josch

ASASSN-15pu: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova

   Berto Monard and Josch Hambsch have reported observations.
Monard's data on Sep. 19 showed double-wave early superhumps with a period
of 0.0600(4) d.  Only two days later, Hambsch's data did not show a strong
signal (maybe due to low sampling rate).  The long period of early
superhumps and large outburst amplitude may suggest a period bouncer.

During the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN or

"Assassin"), using data from the quadruple 14-cm "Cassius" telescope in
CTIO, Chile, we discovered a new transient source:

Object        RA (J2000)    DEC (J2000)     Disc. UT Date   Disc. V mag

ASASSN-15pu   21:11:04.689 -39:56:33.97     2015-09-18.2     

ASASSN-15pu was discovered at V=13.7 in "Cassius" images taken on
2015-09-18.206, but not present (V>17.0) in images taken on 2015-09-13.18.
At the position of the transient, Vizier reports only one match, to a faint
j=22.1 GSC2 source.

Given the large amplitude of its outburst, this transient may be a WZ
Sge-type dwarf nova. Follow-up observations are encouraged.

We thank LCOGT and its staff for their continued support of ASAS-SN. ASAS-SN
is supported by NSF grant AST-1515927, the Mt. Cuba Astronomical Foundation,
and the Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP) at OSU. For
