ASASSN-21tr: superhump period
Tonny Vanmunster, Tamas Tordai and Itoh-san have
reported observations. The superhump period since
Oct. 25 is 0.0666(2) d. The amplitude is still
small (0.06 mag) and they are most likely stage A
superhumps.
XM78HT: regular superhumps
The most recent data by Kyoto U. team on Oct. 26
detected clear ordinary superhumps. The superhumps
started growing on Oct. 25 (Vihorlat Obs. team).
The current period (stage A) is 0.05596(8) d.
IPHAS J184326.48+060800.9 (eclipsing polar) high state
http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts/alert/Gaia21ewn/
High state of this polar has not been seen
in the ZTF data. First time in recent years.
See [vsnet-chat 8874] (Sep. 22) about the nature of
this object.
Dear colleagues,
I have been collecting unfiltered CCD observations of ASASSN-21tr over the
past several nights at CBA Extremadura Observatory, using a 0.40-m f/5.1
telescope and SX-46 CCD camera under (mostly) clear skies.
The collected light curves did not show obvious periodic modulations, with
the exception of last night Oct 25/26, 2021. Regular superhumps with an
amplitude of 0.11 mag are clearly visible, establishing ASASSN-21tr as a new
SU UMa-type dwarf nova. A period analysis using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle,
Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.0), yields a combined
superhump period of 0.0647 +/- 0.0012d. The object was at mag CV = 15.4 on
Oct 25th.
I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
Best regards
Tonny

Re: OGLE-MC-DN-0008 in outburst! (since Oct. 19)
It looks very likely from the light curve that
this object developed superhumps in these days
following a smooth decline. Superhumps should be
present now.
OGLE-MC-DN-0008 (UG)
https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=478014
I just had a look at the latest ASAS-SN Sky Patrol data for
OGLE-MC-DN-0008 and noticed that this dwarf nova is
undergoing a rare outburst (which started on Oct. 17 or 18):

Time-resolved photometry is urgently required.
Clear skies,
