[vsnet-alert 28146] TCPJ06571119-1724439: most likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
by Yusuke Tampo 20 Jan '26

TCPJ06571119-1724439: most likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova Yuji Nakamura discovered TCPJ06571119-1724439 on 2026 01 18.5375 UTC at 14.2 mag. http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J06571119-1724439.html I have observed TCPJ06571119-1724439 with the Lesedi telescope at the Sutherland observatory on 18 and 19 Jan. The light curve shows double-peaked modulations with a period of ~0.0550 d and an amplitude of ~0.08 mag. Thus TCPJ06571119-1724439 is most likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Further observations are encouraged.

[vsnet-alert 28145] TCP J07353147+0910341: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 16 Jan '26

Dear colleagues, TCP J07353147+0910341 was discovered by XOSS (Xingming Observatory Sky Survey) on 2025 Dec 29.75 at mag 14.8 C. The quiescent counterpart is a 22.4 g mag star, implying an outburst amplitude of ~8 mag. I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD time-series observations of TCP J07353147+0910341, obtained on 2026 Jan 14/15 at CBA Extremadura Observatory. The data were acquired under clear skies with a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and a Moravian G2-4000 CCD camera. I also obtained observations on several nights prior to Jan 14/15, but those did not reveal any obvious modulation. In contrast, the Jan 14/15 light curve clearly shows regular superhump modulations with an amplitude of 0.25 mag. A period analysis using ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0660 +/- 0.0008d. The object was measured at mag CV = 16.1 on Jan 14th. Image calibration and photometry were carried out using the latest release of Phoranso, which enabled simultaneous photometry of several additional variable stars in the same field of view. These results establish TCP J07353147+0910341 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Further follow-up observations are strongly encouraged to refine the superhump period and study its evolution. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

[vsnet-alert 28143] ASASSN-26ad; new SU UMa-type dwarf nova, likely a WZ Sge star
by Yusuke Tampo 15 Jan '26

ASASSN-26ad; new SU UMa-type dwarf nova, likely a WZ Sge star ASASSN-26ad was discovered by ASASSN on 2026-01-04.1 UT at 14.57 mag. The outburst amplitude is ~8.3 mag according to the VSX. https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10868368 Sjoerd Dufoer, Josch Hambsch, and Itoh-san have reported the time-resolved observations. Although there were some modulations from the early outburst, clear single-peaked superhumps have appeared after 2026-01-10. The mean superhump period is ~0.0618 d. Thus, ASASSN-26ad is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Given its large outburst amplitude and long waiting time before the appearance of positive superhumps, ASASSN-26ad is likely a WZ Sge star.

[vsnet-alert 28132] TCP J05384230+7051377: rebrightening
by Hiromasa Hoke 15 Jan '26

15 Jan '26

TCP J05384230+7051377: exhibit rebrightening Itoh-san, Kubotera-san, Tamas Tordai, Alexandra Zubareva, and David Messier have newly reported their observations. According to the data, this object showed a rebrightening, reaching a peak brightness of ~14 mag on 12/11. It was ~10 days to show the rebrightening. WZ Sge-type dwarf nova might exhibit multiple rebrightenings. This object possibly shows more rebrightening. Thus, further snapshots are very welcome. best regard, Hiromasa Hoke

[vsnet-alert 28138] ASASSN-25fj; new SU UMa-type dwarf nova, most likely WZ Sge subtype
by Yusuke Tampo 11 Jan '26

ASASSN-25fj; new SU UMa-type dwarf nova, most likely WZ Sge type ASASSN reported the discovery of ASASSN-25fj on 2026-01-1.19 UT. The observed maximum was approximately at 12.2 mag on 2025-12-25.0 UT according to ASASSN. https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/ec92b0f6-1377-450b-b464-7fbe3… The likely counterpart is GALEX J050001.2-571430 (NUV=21.5(2) mag) and DES J050001.26-571430.1 (g=21.278(9) mag). Thus the outburst amplitude is ~9mag. Lesedi telescope at the SAAO and Josch Hambsch have reported the time-resolved observations of ASASSN-25fj. Its light curve after 2026-01-03 shows single-peaked ordinary superhumps with a period of ~0.0556 d and an amplitude of > 0.1 mag. Hence, ASASSN-25fj is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Given its large outburst amplitude and short superhump period, it most likely belongs to the WZ Sge subtype. Continuous observations are encouraged.
