[vsnet-alert 28167] TCPJ15030519+2202041: early superhump and rapid decay
by Hiromasa Hoke 25 May '26

25 May '26

TCPJ15030519+2202041: shows early superhump and rapid decay now Itoh-san, Moriyama-san, Hiraga-san, Funada-san, Magnus Larsson, and Josch Hambsch have newly reported their observations. According to the data, this object showed an early superhump with an amplitude of 0.03. Furthermore, this object has a superhump period of 0.03041(1). Now, this object shows rapid fading since May 15. AM CVn-type dwarf novae show the second outburst after an interval of several to more than ten days. This is a perfect opportunity to observe the growing superhump, so it is very important to observe this object even if it gets faint. best regard, Hiromasa Hoke

[vsnet-alert 28166] 2026 outburst of TCP J05454551+5954307 = ASASSN-22dq (UGWZ)
by Kirill Sokolovsky 13 May '26

13 May '26

TCP J05454551+5954307 = ASASSN-22dq (UGWZ) was found in outburst on 2026-05-13.1420 UTC at unfiltered magnitude CV=14.65 in images obtained with the NMW-TexasTech survey (135mm telephoto lens + QHY600M CMOS camera). The images are available at http://tau.kirx.net/img/TCPJ05454551+5954307/ Nothing brighter than CV~15.4 is visible at this location in images obtained the previous night on 2026-05-12.1429 with the same camera. The previous outburst of TCP J05454551+5954307 (14.7mag) was discovered on 2022-03-19.46139 by Hideo Nishimura, Kakegawa, Shizuoka, Japan.

[vsnet-alert 28165] TCP J07151825+4753167 and TCP J15030519+2202041: new hydrogen-rich and helium-rich WZ Sge-type dwarf novae
by Hiromasa Hoke 11 May '26

11 May '26

Dear all, We posted the photometric follow-up results by Itoh-san and Moriyama-san for TCP J15030519+2202041 and our spectroscopic follow-up results for TCP J15030519+2202041 and TCP J07151825+4753167 to ATel. https://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=17791 We concluded that J0715+4753 is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova because Hα has a narrow emission core and its spectrum shows a blue continuum with the Balmer and HeI absorption lines. J1503+2202 is a new AM CVn-type dwarf nova because this object has HeI absorption lines, a temperature of ~25,000K and possible early superhump period of 0.0303(1) d. Follow-up observations are important. Especially, TCPJ1503+2202 is a long-period AM CVn star, and the opportunity to observe such an event is rare. Continuous time-series observations are strongly encouraged. best regard, Hiromasa Hoke
