[vsnet-outburst 23520] ASASSN-19hx: new SU UMa type dwarf nova

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

Dear colleagues,

I have just concluded the analysis of my 2019, Apr 02/03 unfiltered CCD photometry session of ASASSN-19hx. Observations were made at CBA Extremadura Observatory, using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and Trius SX-46 CCD camera, under very clear skies. My observations were triggered by the detection announcement on the ASASSN Transients webpage.

 

The resulting light curve clearly shows the presence of regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.10 mag, hence classifying this object as a new SU UMa type dwarf nova. A period analysis using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso), yields a combined superhump period of 0.0557 +/- 0.0016d. The object was at mag 15.75 (CV) on Apr 03rd. 

 

I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis. 

 

Follow-up observations are recommended.

 

Best regards
Tonny
