[vsnet-alert 28135] TCP J16425922+2621020: a large amplitude CV candidate, likely a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
by Yusuke Tampo 27 Dec '25

27 Dec '25

TCP J16425922+2621020: a large amplitude CV candidate, likely a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova Tadashi Kojima reported the discovery of TCP J16425922+2621020 on 2025 12 26.8538 UTC at 13.0 mag (unfiltered). http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J16425922+2621020.html The likely counterpart is 3"-away Gaia DR3 1301247792154799488, G=20.044(8) mag at 674 (-144/+248) pc. Thus, the absolute magnitudes in quiescence and outburst are ~10.9(7) and ~3.9(7) mag, respectively. This is also recorded in the Gaia white dwarf candidate catalogs (e.g., Gentile et al. 2021). http://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR?-source=&-out.add=_r&-out.add=_… Given its large outburst amplitude of ~7 mag, no previous outbursts, and possible white dwarf-dominated spectral energy distribution in quiescence, TCP J16425922+2621020 is most likely a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova in outburst. Although time-resolved observations are almost impossible for now due to its RA=16hr, this might be a nice target for future observations.

[vsnet-alert 28134] ASASSN-22nd (=AT2025ahnc= ZTF25acibbkf =ASASSN-25fb); a new fast-decaying outburst
by Yusuke Tampo 19 Dec '25

19 Dec '25

ASASSN-22nd (=AT2025ahnc= ZTF25acibbkf =ASASSN-25fb); a new fast-decaying outburst GOTO, ZTF, and ASASSN have detected a new outburst from a known CV candidate ASASSN-22nd. https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=2345330 https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2025ahnc https://lasair-ztf.lsst.ac.uk/objects/ZTF25acibbkf/ https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/19517db9-fb36-4d9c-a94d-2ca87… This outburst shows a fast decay, approximately 1 mag/d. Considering its large amplitude(>7mag), relatively short outburst cycle (~3 years), and fast decay of the outburst, this outburst could be a precursor outburst of a dwarf nova superoutburst, or even from an AM CVn star. Although the system is currently faint (~18.5 mag in ATLAS), if the system returns to a bright state, time-resolved photometries will be encouraged.

[vsnet-alert 28130] ASASSN-25eq: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, likely a period bouncer
by Yusuke Tampo 17 Dec '25

17 Dec '25

ASASSN-25eq: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, likely a period bouncer ASASSN discovered ASASSN-25eq on 2025-11-13.18 UT at 15.07 mag. Then it brightened to g=14.0 mag on 2025-11-15. The VSX lists g=21.9 mag as the counterpart, hence the outburst amplitude is ~8 mag. https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10868208 https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/579ca10e-176d-4c3b-958f-03a39… Josch Hambsh and Berto Monard have reported the time-resolved observations of ASASSN-25eq. The light curve shows a 1-mag dip around 2025-11-25 UT. After this dip, clear superhumps are present, with a period of ~0.0645 d. There is no clear modulation before the dip. Thus, ASASSN-25eq is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, with a double-superoutburst feature often observed in a period bouncer system. See e.g. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018PASJ...70...47K/abstract Given the absence of clear early superhumps, ASASSN-25eq is presumably a face-on system. A spectrum taken with the Mookodi/Lesedi telescope on 16 Nov. is dominated by Balmer absorption lines, which supports this interpretation. Time-resolved observations are encouraged.

[vsnet-alert 28131] TCP J05384230+7051377: faded but might show rebrightenings
by Keisuke Isogai 02 Dec '25

02 Dec '25

TCP J05384230+7051377: faded but might show rebrightenings Itoh-san, David Messier, Franky Dubois, Tonny Vanmunster, Sano-san, and Kubotera-san reported their observations. This object showed clear superhumps with an averaged period of 0.06806(1) d. The 0.065 d period in the previous reports was an alias. The object rapidly faded from Nov 29, and now stays around 17.5 mag. The current state is even about 3 mag brighter than in quiescence, and this object might show some rebrightenings. Thus, further snapshots are very welcome.

[vsnet-alert 28129] TCP J06364062+3318310: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 26 Nov '25

26 Nov '25

Dear colleagues, TCP J06364062+3318310 was discovered by K. Sokolovsky et al. (NMW Survey) on 2025 Nov 17.99 at mag 13.6CV. The quiescent counterpart is a 21.3 r mag star, implying an outburst amplitude of ~8 mag. I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD time-series observations of TCP J06364062+3318310, obtained on 2025 Nov 25/26 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 Nov 25/26, but those did not reveal any obvious modulation. In contrast, the Nov 25/26 light curve clearly shows regular superhump modulations with an amplitude of 0.30 mag. A period analysis using ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0661 +/- 0.0008d. The object was measured at mag CV = 15.3 on Nov 26th. 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 J06364062+3318310 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 28120] TCP J05384230+7051377: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
by 保家大将 21 Nov '25

21 Nov '25

TCP J05384230+7051377: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova We posted our spectroscopic follow-up result of TCP J05384230+7051377 to ATel. ATel #17485: Spectroscopic confirmation of TCP J05384230+7051377 as a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova <https://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=17485> We concluded that this object 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. Also, we estimated this object as p ~ 0.06d from Itoh-san's data. However p ~ 0.06d is a weak signal, so further observation will provide a more accurate estimate of the period. best regard, Hiromasa Hoke

Dear colleagues, TCP J21314718+3825463 was discovered by XOSS (Xingming Observatory Sky Survey) on 2025 Nov 07.6 at mag 14.70C. The quiescent counterpart is a 22.5 g mag star, implying an outburst amplitude of ~8 mag. I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J21314718+3825463, obtained on 2025 Nov 11/12 and Nov 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. The Nov 11/12 light curve did not reveal any obvious modulation. However, the Nov 14/15 light curve clearly shows regular superhump modulations with an amplitude of 0.23 mag. A period analysis performed with ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0567 +/- 0.0016d. The object was measured at mag CV = 16.0 on Nov 15th. 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 J21314718+3825463 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Further follow-up observations are strongly encouraged to refine the superhump period and study its evolution.
