[vsnet-alert 22336] MASTER OT J172758.09+380021.5: new SU UMa type dwarf nova - updated sueprhump period

[Tonny Vanmunster tonny.vanmunster@gmail.com via vsnet-alert]

Dear colleagues,

Further to my message of yesterday regarding the detection of superhumps in the light curve of MASTER OT J172758.09+380021.5, I have now analysed both my 2018, Jul 22/23 and Jul 23/24 unfiltered CCD photometry sessions of this target. Observations were made at CBA Extremadura Observatory (Spain),  using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and SX-46 CCD camera, under a very clear sky. 

 

The detrended light curve of Jul 23/24 continues to show superhumps with an amplitude of 0.10 mag, but the object has faded to mag 16.1 (CV) on Jul 24th. A period analysis of both nights’ datasets using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso), yields a combined updated superhump period of 0.0565 +/- 0.0002d. 

 

Astrometry of this target (J2000.0, UCAC4 based): RA = 17h 27m 58.13s, Dec = +38° 00’ 22.5” (residual 0.3”)


Observations will be sent to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

 

Best regards
Tonny
