Dear colleagues,
I have just finished analysing my unfiltered CMOS observations of TCP
J03383192+2712288 obtained on 2024, Mar 08/09 at CBA Belgium Observatory
using a 0.40-m f/10.0 telescope and QHY-268M CMOS camera, and on 2024, Mar
10/11 at CBA Extremadura Observatory using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and
SX-46 CCD camera. In both cases, skies were not entirely clear.
The resulting light curve clearly shows the presence of superhumps with an
amplitude of 0.24 mag, establishing TCP J03383192+2712288 as a new SU
UMa-type dwarf nova. A period analysis, using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle,
Conditional Entropy and PDM methods (Peranso 3.0) yields a combined
superhump period of 0.0542 +/- 0.0010d. The object was at mag CV = 16.4 on
Mar 10th.
Image calibration and photometry were done using a beta version of Phoranso.
I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
Best regards
Tonny

TCP J13530185+0522000: new SU UMa-type (likely WZ Sge) dwarf nova
Itoh-san has shown that this object started showing superhumps
on Mar. 2. The current period is 0.06041(4) d.
The amplitude is 0.13 mag.
The long waiting time suggests a WZ Sge star.
