Dear colleagues,
I have just finished analysing my unfiltered CCD observations of
ASASSN-22ho, obtained on 2022, June 02/03 at CBA Belgium Observatory, using
a 0.40-m f/10.0 telescope and QHY-286M CMOS camera under clear skies.
Regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.35 mag are very clearly visible in
the resulting light curve, establishing ASASSN-22ho 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
(long) superhump period of 0.0902 +/- 0.0025d. The object was at mag CV =
16.5 on Jun 03rd.
I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
Best regards
Tonny

Dear colleagues,
I have just finished analysing my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP
J22561804+4109534, obtained on 2022, July 04/05 at CBA Belgium Observatory,
using a 0.40-m f/10.0 telescope and QHY-286M CMOS camera under clear skies.
I have been observing this object during multiple nights between June 27th
and now. On all previous nights, no obvious modulations were visible in the
light curve, except for last night when superhumps with an amplitude of 0.14
mag became very clearly visible. A period analysis using the ANOVA,
Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.0), yields
a combined superhump period of 0.0650 +/- 0.0011d. The object was at mag CV
= 15.3 on Jul 05th.
The superhump profile shows no signs of a double-waved pattern, and I could
not detect early superhumps in my data. Yet, the large outburst amplitude of
~7.4 mag, and the long time for superhumps to develop (approx. 9 days) make
this a very likely WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Follow-up observations are
recommended to further track the evolution of the superhumps.
I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
Best regards
Tonny

The Gaia object appears to be the northern component
of the pair.

The location 20:00:29.256 +34:53:09.14 is very slightly
different from this location. A faint object not in Gaia
may be outbursting now.

The object is located very close to the northern component
of a close pair in the PS1 image.
The Gaia object appears to be the southern component
of the pair.

The outbursting object may not be related to them.
ASASSN-22jz: revised period of early superhumps
Using the period of ordinary superhumps, I re-analyzed
the data reported in [vsnet-alert 26907]. The correct
period of early superhumps was an one-day alias
to vsnet-alert 26907. P(ESH)=0.05700(3) d.
