ZTF18acynctq = TCP J20402089+4915562 = ASASSN-25bt: new SU UMa star candidate XOSS team via TOCP/TNS and ASAS-SN reported the 2025 outburst of this system, which is already known as ZTF18acynctq in its 2018 outburst. https://alerce.online/object/ZTF18acynctq http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J20402089+4915562.html https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10848612 Its 2018 outburst lasted for ~15 days and showed a possible rebrightening in the ATLAS data. Thus the outburst cycle is ~2300 d. This system is currently ~16.0 mag, and time-resolved observations may detect superhumps.

[vsnet-alert 28061] V598 Sco: an eclipsing dwarf nova
by Rod Stubbings 19 May '25

19 May '25

V598 Sco is an active dwarf nova and listed in VSX as a UG star, range 14.9 - 17.0: V. [vsnet-chat 9283] lists V598 Sco as a Z Cam star. V598 Sco has been on my list for a number of years. On May 2 during an outburst I noticed a fading, then returned to normal brightness. A second fading occurred approx 3h 46 min later, which I observed back to normal. With a new outburst on May 18, I made 1-minute observations for 3h 29 minutes and caught another eclipse. Kept observations ongoing throughout the night and caught a second eclipse. The eclipse period was 3h 45 minutes. The first eclipse duration was 12 minutes and the second eclipse was 10 minutes.

[vsnet-alert 28060] TCP J19065629+4019093: new SU UMa-type dwarf novae and WZ Sge-type candidate
by Yusuke Tampo 11 May '25

11 May '25

TCP J19065629+4019093: new SU UMa-type dwarf novae and WZ Sge-type candidate TCP J19065629+4019093 was discovered by Y. Nakamura on 29th April, 2025, at 13.1 mag. S. M. Brincat, J. Hambsch, Itoh-san, T. Tordai, and Sano-san have reported the time-resolved observations of this new transient. The latest time-resolved observations on 9th May by S. M. Brincat report the presence of single-peaked superhumps with ~0.056 d. Thus TCP J19065629+4019093 is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Taking into account this late (~10 d) appearance of superhumps, TCP J19065629+4019093 is likely a face-on WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Further observations are encouraged to determine its superhump period.
