[vsnet-alert 28089] ASASSN-25dc; a new candidate of a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with the double superoutburst
by Yusuke Tampo 24 Jul '25

ASASSN-25dc; a new candidate of a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with the double superoutburst ASASSN-25dc was discovered by ASAS-SN on 2025-07-13.09 UTC at g=13.07. This outburst is also observed by ATLAS, o~15.2 mag on 2025-07-07.8 UTC and o~13.5 mag on 2025-07-10.9 UTC. The likely counterpart is Gaia DR3 6129070308813533568 with G~21.0 mag, hence the outburst amplitude is ~7.0 mag. This system underwent a short dip on 16-17th July, around 14.5 mag, and is now recovering from the dip. Lesedi telescope at Sutherland, Josch Hambsh, and Berto Monard have reported the time-resolved observations of ASASSN-25dc. PDM analysis using the overall data yields a single-peaked modulation with a period of 0.05991(4) d and an amplitude of 0.03 mag. Combining the 1-mag dip feature on the light curve and short superhump period, ASASSN-25dc can be a similar system to double-superoutburst WZ Sge-type dwarf novae, especially the period-bouncer candidates ASASSN-15jd and ASASSN-16hg (see Kimura et al. 2016,2018). https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.06344 https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03179 The ongoing second outburst should show the evolution of ordinary superhumps. The hint of ordinary superhumps is seen in the observations on 17th July. Further time-resolved observations are encouraged.

[vsnet-alert 28090] TCP J19181542+3158142: likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
by Yusuke Tampo 23 Jul '25

23 Jul '25

TCP J19181542+3158142: likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova TCP J19181542+3158142 was discovered by the XOSS team on 18 July at 15.22 mag. The quiescence counterpart is a Pan-STARRS1 source with r=21.35(3) mag, indicating the outburst amplitude of ~6 mag. Itoh-san reported the time-resolved observations for three nights on 19-21 July. Although the scatter is large, PDM analysis yields a period of 0.05525(7) d, with an amplitude of ~0.1 mag and a double-peaked profile, probably early superhumps. Thus, TCP J19181542+3158142 is likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. This system is a bit faint for time-resolved observations (currently ~15.8 mag), but further observations are encouraged to confirm its superhump profile and evolution.

[vsnet-alert 28085] TCP J19335406+4220008: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 16 Jul '25

Dear colleagues, I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J19335406+4220008, obtained on Jun 29/30 and Jun 30/Jul 01, 2025 at CBA Extremadura Observatory (Spain). The data was collected using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and Moravian G2-4000 CCD camera under clear skies. The object was discovered by XOSS (Mi Zhang, Jianlin Xu, Guoyou Sun, Jiangao Ruan, et al.) on Jun 21st. The light curve clearly reveals the presence of regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.13 mag, establishing TCP J19335406+4220008 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 0.0615 +/- 0.0003d. The object was measured at mag CV = 14.9 on Jul 01st. Image calibration and photometry were performed using the latest release of Phoranso, allowing us to simultaneously collect observations of 4 additional interesting VSX stars in the same FOV. Further observations are encouraged to refine the superhump period. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

[vsnet-alert 28087] Two bright nova candidates in M31
by FIDRICH Robert 08 Jul '25

Dear Friends, I managed to discover two bright nova candidates in M31 in the las few days: *Vend60 (AT 2025qdc = M31N 2025-07a)* https://vendegcsillagkereso.blogspot.com/2025/07/vend60-possible-nova-in-m3… https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2025qdc This star got significantly brighter over the weekend (~16.5-17.0 magnitudes) See my recent photos: https://vendegcsillagkereso.blogspot.com/2025/07/vend-60-uj-novajelolt-az-a… *Vend61 (AT 2025qmf)* https://vendegcsillagkereso.blogspot.com/2025/07/vend61-possible-nova-near-… https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2025qmf Located 2178" west and 281" south of the center of M31. (Source: Extracalactic Novae page, Rochesterastronomy) Follow-up photometry, spectroscopy of both nova candidates and precize astrometry of AT 2025qmf urgently needed. Clear skies, Robert

[vsnet-alert 28086] ASASSN-25cn

ASASSN-25cn : new SU UMa-type dwarf nova,and possibly WZ Sge-type ASAS-SN discovered ASASSN-25cn on 2025-06-15.77 UTC at g=13.5 mag. According to VSX, this object's quiescence magnitude is B~22.0 thus the outburst amplitude is ~8.5 mag. VSX : Detail for ASASSN-25cn Josch Hambsch, Berto Monard, Itoh-san reported the time-resolved observations. These light curves (after 2025-6-26 UTC) show ordinary superhumps with an amplitude of ~0.2 mag and a period of 0.0567233(294)d. Hence, ASASSN-25cn is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Due to the sparse coverage before June 19, we cannot judge if ASASSN-25cn showed early superhumps. Given the large outburst amplitude and short superhump period, it can be a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Best regards, Hiromasa
