GR Ori: late-stage superhumps and rebrightening
Astrokolkhoz team (Josch Hambsch and Tom Krajci) reported
observations during the rapid fading from the superoutburst
and the rebrightening. An analysis of March 1-3 data (rapid
fading) yielded a period of 0.05750(4) d, 1.2% shorter than
the mean superhump period. The amplitude was 0.04 mag.
It is not clear whether this period is related to the orbital
period.
We have also received a report from Shawn Dvorak.
The rebrightening seems to be continuing.
I could see GR Ori on the 20130309.0280 image but was unable to measure
it due to contamination from it's nearby companion. Visual inspection
suggested a brightness of about 16.0. Last night (20130310.0194) I was
able to separate the two stars and measured it at 16.2(0.1).
