[vsnet-outburst 19426] ASASSN-16eg: new bright WZ Sge-type dwarf nova

[Tonny Vanmunster]

Dear colleagues,



Tonight (2016, Apr 10/11), I have been running an unfiltered CCD photometry
session of ASASSN-16eg at CBA Belgium Observatory,  using a 0.35-m f/6.3
telescope and STT-3200ME CCD camera, under clear skies. The resulting light
curve clearly shows the presence of double-waved early superhumps. This
establishes this target as a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. The amplitude is
approx 0.15 mag. A preliminary period analysis using the ANOVA,
Lafler-Kinman and PDM methods (Peranso), yields a combined period of 0.0736
+/- 0.0007d (106 min). The object is currently bright at mag 12.7
(unfiltered).



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



It is evident that additional  observations of this interesting new target
are urgently needed.



Best regards
Tonny
