[vsnet-outburst 9497] Re: [vsnet-alert 10558] var/Dra

[Hiroyuki Maehara]

Dear colleagues,

  We have received time-series data of var/Dar taken on Oct. 6 from 
Kazuhiro Nakajima (Mie, Japan). I also observed the object on Oct. 6.
As reported by Kato-san (vsnet-alert 10560), clear superhumps with an 
amplitude of 0.2-0.3 mag were present.
The best-estimated superhump period by PDM method is 0.0712(2)d, though 
aliases are not completely excluded.

20081006.43002 15.34V   Mhh.VSOLJ
20081006.43248 15.31B   Mhh.VSOLJ
20081006.43094 15.42V   Njh.VSOLJ
20081006.43396 15.35Rc  Njh.VSOLJ
20081006.43698 15.29B   Njh.VSOLJ
Mhh: Hiroyuki Maehara (Kyoto, Japan) 25cmL + ST-7XME + B,V filter
Njh: Kazuhiro Nakajima (Mie, Japan) 25cmSCT + CV-04 + B,V,Rc filter

The object is still in outburst at V=15.3-15.4. Follow-up time-resolved 
observations are strongly encouraged.

Best regards,
Hiroyuki Maehara
