[vsnet-alert 28027] GOTO065054.49+593624.51: end of the type-E rebrighening
by Yusuke Tampo 31 Oct '24

GOTO065054.49+593624.51: end of the type-E rebrighening According to the most recent ATLAS forced photometry and AAVSO observations by Nikola Antonov, Arto Oksanen, and Klaus Wenzel, this object dimmed around 18th mag on 2024-10-30, likely an end of its type E brightening. As type-E-rebrighening systems typically show additional short-lived brightenings, daily snapshots are still encouraged.

[vsnet-alert 28026] maintenance power outrage
by Katsuki Muraoka 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Dear, VSNET members, I'm Katsuki Muraoka, a M2 student of Kyoto University. I must inform you all that there will be a maintenance power outage for the Kyoto Univ. building on this weekend, so VSNET server must be shut down in advance. The shutdown is scheduled to occur around 16:00 JST on November 2nd (UTC: 07:00), and the system is scheduled to be restored at around 17:30 JST (UTC: 08:30) on November 3rd. Thank you for your cooperation. Katsuki Muraoka

[vsnet-alert 28025] GOTO065054.49+593624.51: type-E rebrightening WZ Sge star?
by Yusuke Tampo 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

GOTO065054.49+593624.51: type-E rebrightening WZ Sge star? Recent time-resolved observations reported to VSNET/AAVSO, especially those by Tonny Vanmunster, David Messier, Nikola Antonov, and Ian Sharp, show growing superhumps after its recovery from the short-lived dip around 2024-10-19. Using these time-resolved observations after the dip, the superhump period is obtained as 0.06323(2) d, consistent with previous Tonny's reports to VSNET alerts. These features suggest that this ongoing brightening event is likely a type-E rebrightening (dip caused by the disk transition from early to ordinary superhumps) and thus GOTO065054.49+593624.51 would be a new period bouncer candidate showing a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova outburst. For type-E rebrightenings and period bouncers, see.g. Kimura et al 2018 https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03179 Further observations are encouraged. best regards, Yusuke -- ---------------------------------------------- South African Astronomical Observatory, Postdoc fellow 反保雄介 Yusuke TAMPO MAIL: tampo(a)kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp MAIL: yusuke(a)saao.ac.za ----------------------------------------------

[vsnet-alert 28024] GOTO065054.49+593624.51 is now optically confirmed as a new WZ Sge-type darf nova
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 18 Oct '24

18 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, I have just completed my analysis of unfiltered CCD observations of GOTO065054.49+593624.51, acquired on Oct 17/18, 2024 at the CBA Extremadura Observatory in Spain. The observations were made using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and SX-46 CCD camera under moderately clear skies, though conditions were only favorable for about 2.2 hours. Since the discovery announcement by T. Killestein et al. on Oct 4, 2024 (ATEL #16842), I have been observing this object across multiple nights, during which no obvious modulations were visible in the light curve - until tonight, when GOTO065054.49+593624.51 exhibited superhumps for the first time. The superhumps displayed an amplitude of ~0.16 mag. Period analysis employing ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized Lomb-Scargle, and PDM methods (Peranso 3.0), yielded a combined superhump period of 0.067 +/- 0.002d. Due to the limited observation window, this value remains uncertain, and I strongly recommend follow-up observations to further track the evolution of the superhumps. The object was at mag CV = 14.7 on Oct 18th. The superhump profile currently shows no indication (yet) of a double-waved pattern. The substantial outburst amplitude (> 8 mag), and the prolonged duration for superhumps to develop (approx. 13 days), in conjunction with the spectroscopic classification suggesting it is likely a WZ Sge-type CV (ATEL #16858), firmly establish this object as a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Image calibration and photometry were done using my new photometry software Phoranso 1.0.5.5. I will be submitting my observations to AAVSO, CBA, and VSNET for further analysis.

[vsnet-alert 28022] ASASSN-24fy: new bright outburst from a known WZ Sge star candidate
by Yusuke Tampo 04 Oct '24

04 Oct '24

ASASSN-24fy: new bright outburst from a known WZ Sge star candidate ASAS-SN reported a new CV outburst candidate ASASSN-24fy discovered on 2024-10-1.99 at 11.01 mag. This system was indeed suspected to be a WZ Sge-type CV by Pala et al 2020 based on Gaia data. >Gaia J154008.28-392917.6 https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=844362 https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020MNRAS.494.3799P/abstract Time-resolved observations are encouraged to detect superhumps and confirm the outburst nature.

[vsnet-alert 28021] TCP J18173469+1803499: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Dear colleagues I have just finished analysing my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J18173469+1803499, obtained during 4 consecutive nights between 2024, Sep 28/29 and Oct 01/02 at CBA Extremadura Observatory using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and SX-46 CCD camera under clear skies. This object was detected by the New Milky Way (NMW) survey Camera-2, operating at the Astroverty astrofarm in Russia, on Sep 27th. Superhumps started to emerge in my data set of 2024, Sep 29/30, and are now clearly present in my last set of observations obtained on 2024, Oct 01/02. That light curve shows regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.11 mag, establishing TCP J18173469+1803499 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 0.0767 +/- 0.0026d. The object was at mag CV = 13.9 on Oct 02nd. Image calibration and photometry were done using my new photometry software Phoranso 1.0.5.1 which allowed me to simultaenously measure 10 other variables present in the FOV of this new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
