[vsnet-alert 28055] TCP J08374922+0134065: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with large early superhump amplitude
by Yusuke Tampo 14 Apr '25

14 Apr '25

TCP J08374922+0134065: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with large early superhump amplitude TCP J08374922+0134065 was discovered by Y. Nakamura on 3rd April at 14.7 mag. Based on the suggested counterpart (GALEX J083749.2+013407) with g=20.22(2) and the brightest ASAS-SN measurement with g~13.4 mag, the outburst amplitude is 6.8mag. http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J08374922+0134065.html https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/dce846f3-485d-4614-bace-a8b3e… Itoh-san has reported the time-resolved observations on 6th April and the light curve shows a double-peaked modulation with a period of ~0.059 d and an amplitude of 0.2 mag with possible eclipses. Thus TCP J08374922+0134065 is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with high inclination. Time-resolved observations are strongly encouraged.

[vsnet-alert 28054] TCP J06455595+1210577: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 02 Apr '25

Dear colleagues, I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J06455595+1210577, obtained on Apr 01/02, 2025 at CBA Belgium Observatory. The data was collected using a 0.40-m f/10.0 telescope and QHY-268M CMOS camera under clear skies. This object was recently discovered by XOSS and announced as a possible CV candidate (see http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J06455595+1210577.html) The light curve clearly reveals the presence of regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.29 mag, establishing TCP J06455595+1210577 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. A period analysis, using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0731 +/- 0.0014d. The object was measured at mag CV = 16.2 on Apr 01st. Image calibration and photometry were performed using Phoranso, allowing me to simultaneously measure 4 other variables within the field of view of TCP J06455595+1210577. Further observations are encouraged to refine the superhump period. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
