[vsnet-alert 27360] TCP J04361641+5628241: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova

by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com

Dear colleagues, TCP J04361641+562824 (aka AT 2023ayf) has been very recently detected by the XOSS team (see TNS Astronomical Transient Report No. 170114). I have just finished analysing my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J04361641+5628241, obtained on 2023, Jan 28/29 at CBA Extremadura Observatory (Spain) using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and SX-46 CCD camera under clear skies. The resulting light curve clearly shows the presence of a superhump with an amplitude of 0.39 mag, establishing TCP J04361641+5628241 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. An accurate period analysis was not yet possible, due to the lack of multiple superhumps within the observation window, but it clearly is an object with a long superhump period. A rough estimate puts it at 0.095d, but further observations are needed to firmly establish the superhump period. The object was at mag CV = 14.7 on Jan 28th. I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis. Best regards Tonny --- Tonny Vanmunster CBA Belgium Observatory CBA Extremadura Observatory <http://www.cbabelgium.com> http://www.cbabelgium.com PERANSO: The Light Curve and Period Analysis Software http://www.peranso.com

[vsnet-alert 27361] ZTF J043616.39+562824.3 = TCP J04361641+5628241 superhump period

by Taichi Kato

ZTF J043616.39+562824.3 = TCP J04361641+5628241 superhump period Tonny Vanmunster and Kiyota-san have reported observations. The superhump period appears to be 0.08040(3) d (amplitude 0.29 mag). Other aliases are possible, but less likely.

[vsnet-alert 27358] ASASSN-23af: superhump period

by Taichi Kato

ASASSN-23af: superhump period Due to the short visibility, the superhump period has not yet been pinned down. The most likely period is 0.06076(4) d (allowing aliases). The waveform was clear and there is no ambiguity in classification. The amplitude is small (0.12 mag) and this object may show multiple rebrightenings. Observers: Josch Hambsch and Berto Monard

[vsnet-alert 27355] V1108 Her: complex variations

by Taichi Kato

V1108 Her: complex variations Kiyota-san's second night observations on Jan. 25 showed complex variations. Although the observing window was short, this may have been a part of early-superhump variations.

[vsnet-alert 27354] PNVJ06245297+0208207: brightened further, Porb?

by Taichi Kato

PNVJ06245297+0208207: brightened further, Porb? Itoh-san's new observations indicate that the object further brightened to 12 mag but superhumps have become weaker (amplitude typical for AM CVn stars). Crimean Astrophys. Obs. team also reported the rising part and superhumps were already present on Jan. 21 (good job!). Preliminary analysis of the initial outburst yielded a possible period of 0.03433(4) d. Amplitude 0.02 mag and slower rise (similar to early superhumps).

[vsnet-alert 27353] PNVJ06245297+0208207: ordinary superhumps (AM CVn, P=0.0352 d)

by Taichi Kato

PNVJ06245297+0208207: ordinary superhumps (AM CVn, P=0.0352 d) Itoh-san obtained long time-resolved photometry on Jan. 25 and detected singly peaked superhumps. These humps were also present in Tordai's observation on Jan. 24 and Vanmunster's on Jan. 23-24 (doubly humped). Thanks to all these observers, the rising phase of the superoutburst was covered. The superhump period is 0.035185(8) d (stage A+B?). The period is longer than the oribital period of GP Com and the lack of hydrogen lines has been confirmed. Very important finding and object.

[vsnet-alert 27352] V1108 Her: early superhumps or superhumps

by Taichi Kato

V1108 Her: early superhumps or superhumps Kiyota-san reported observations on Nov. 24. 0.2-mag variations were recorded. There were two minima within one hour. If they are early superhumps, the amplitude is large. Observations are strongly encouraged.
