[vsnet-alert 26528] ASASSN-22ae is a ugsu type DN
by Berto Monard 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

ASASSN-22ae was reported as an object with an outburst amplitude of 3.2 mag on Jan 15. Observations over 4 nights in the period Jan 7 to Jan 13 at CBA KKO, confirm ASASSN-22ae as a ugsu type dwarf nova, showing superhumps of amplitude 0.2CR with a period of 0.06883d +/- 0.00004d. The brightness on Jan 13.9 was around 14.7CR. Berto Monard / CBA KKO Calitzdorp, South Africa

Re: ASASSN-22an is a dwarf nova Interesting result. The object was bright in 2021 Oct. and it would be difficult to imagine that a dwarf nova outburst last nearly three months (unless they were separate outbursts), and it is still disk-dominated.

RZ Leo: short-term variations Itoh-san reported observations. The object showed variations and they may have been early superhumps. Observation are encouraged.

[vsnet-alert 26524] ASASSN-22an is a dwarf nova
by Kirill Sokolovsky 13 Jan '22

We obtained a medium-resolution spectrum of ASASSN-22an with the 4.1m SOAR telescope and Goodman spectrograph on 2022-01-11 08:31 UT. The spectrum covering 3900-7900 A shows a continuum with superimposed broad Balmer absorption lines. The Halpha shows a narrow emission component on top of the broad absorption. The spectrum is that of a dwarf nova in outburst, not consistent with a classical nova. We also used the SOAR acquisition images to measure the astrometric position of ASASSN-22an relative to the few UCAC3 stars in the field: 15:24:49.52 -57:39:52.8 +/-0.1" J2000 There is no Gaia EDR3 source at this position, but USNO-B1.0 0323-0738701 (R1mag=19.8, Imag=18.4) is located only 0.2" away. A faint (median DECaPS DR1 magnitudes g=23.1, r=22.8) source is visible in DECaPS images 0.3" from the SOAR position.
