Dear colleagues,
I have just finished analysing my time-series observations of ASASSN-21sb,
obtained on 2021, Sep 25/26 and Sep 26/27 at resp. CBA Extremadura
Observatory and CBA Belgium observatory, using 0.40-m telescopes with SX-46
CCD and QHY-268M CMOS camera's.
Regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.32 mag are clearly visible in the
resulting light curve, establishing ASASSN-21sb 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 0.0589 +/- 0.0003d. The object was at mag CV = 16.2 on
Sep 27th.
I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
Best regards
Tonny

IPHASJ190812.63+045728.1: eclipsing dwarf nova in the period gap
From ZTF data. Porb=0.1056882(3) d.
Eclipse epoch: BJD 2458662.020.
The behavior up to now suggests an SS Cyg star, but
a search for a superoutburst would be interesting.
LL And: stage A superhumps and mass ratio
Kyoto U. team, Crimean Astrophys. Obs. team,
Itoh-san, Alexandra Zubareva, Tonny Vanmunster,
Tamas Tordai, Filipp Romanov and Kiyota-san have
reported observations.
The object started to show well-detectable
superhumps since Sep. 20. The current period
(stage A) is 0.0579(1) d. This period corresponds to
q=0.143(5). This value is consistent with the result in
https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004PASJ...56S.135K/abstract
This object is likely an SU UMa star (rather than
a WZ Sge star) as judged from the mass ratio
despite the very long supercycle.
The lack of strong early superhumps appears to be
consistent with this classification.
ASASSN-19ax superhump period
Itoh-san, Kiyota-san, Tonny Vanmunster and Tamas Tordai
have reported observations. The superhump period is
established to be 0.10012(2) d. There is currently
no period variation.
Dear colleagues,
I obtained another LL And time series last night (2021, Sep 20/21) at CBA
Extremadura Observatory in Spain, using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and SX-46
CCD camera under clear skies.
Looking at the resulting light curve, it seems that early superhumps have
now been replaced by regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.15 mag. The
object was at mag CV = 13.9 on Sep 21st.
I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
Best regards
Tonny

Dear colleagues,
I have just finished analysing my unfiltered observations of ASASSN-19ax,
obtained on 2021, September 17/18 at CBA Belgium Observatory (0.40-m f/10.0
telescope, QHY-268M CMOS, clear then clouds) and at CBA Extremadura
Observatory (0.40-m f/5.1 telescope, SX-46 CCD, clear then clouds).
The combined lightcurve covers a time span of 7.2h and clearly shows the
presence of superhumps with an amplitude of 0.26 mag, establishing
ASASSN-19ax 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 0.1015 +/- 0.0024d, well above the
period gap (as suspected by Taichi Kato in vsnet-alert 26256). The object
was at mag CV = 13.5 on Sep 18th.
I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
Best regards
Tonny
