[vsnet-alert 26263] ASASSN-19ax superhump period
by Taichi Kato 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

ASASSN-19ax superhump period Itoh-san, Kiyota-san, Tonny Vanmunster and Tamas Tordai have reported observations. The superhump period is established to be 0.10012(2) d. There is currently no period variation.

[vsnet-alert 26262] LL And showing regular superhumps
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

Dear colleagues, I obtained another LL And time series last night (2021, Sep 20/21) at CBA Extremadura Observatory in Spain, using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and SX-46 CCD camera under clear skies. Looking at the resulting light curve, it seems that early superhumps have now been replaced by regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.15 mag. The object was at mag CV = 13.9 on Sep 21st. I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

[vsnet-alert 26260] ASASSN-19ax: new long period SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 18 Sep '21

18 Sep '21

Dear colleagues, I have just finished analysing my unfiltered observations of ASASSN-19ax, obtained on 2021, September 17/18 at CBA Belgium Observatory (0.40-m f/10.0 telescope, QHY-268M CMOS, clear then clouds) and at CBA Extremadura Observatory (0.40-m f/5.1 telescope, SX-46 CCD, clear then clouds). The combined lightcurve covers a time span of 7.2h and clearly shows the presence of superhumps with an amplitude of 0.26 mag, establishing ASASSN-19ax as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. A period analysis using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.0), yields a combined superhump period of 0.1015 +/- 0.0024d, well above the period gap (as suspected by Taichi Kato in vsnet-alert 26256). The object was at mag CV = 13.5 on Sep 18th. I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

[vsnet-alert 26257] LL And: emerging superhumps?
by Taichi Kato 17 Sep '21

17 Sep '21

LL And: emerging superhumps? Crimean Astrophys. Obs. team and Kiyota-san reported observations. (Tonny Vanmunster has sent a run, but it is not processed yet. This set will be reflected on further reports). A period analysis yielded 0.05698(4) d. This could be a signature of emerging superhumps. The amplitude is, however, very low and more observations are definitely needed for a secure identification.

[vsnet-alert 26256] ASASSN-19ax: possible superhump
by Taichi Kato 17 Sep '21

17 Sep '21

ASASSN-19ax: possible superhump Kiyota-san reported observations. The object showed 0.3-mag variation resembling a superhump. The length of observation was not sufficient to record a full cycle. The period (if the variation is periodic) appears to be longer than 2 hr and the object could be an SU UMa star above the period gap. Further observations are strongly encouraged.
