TCP J07222683+6220548: AM CVn star showing a superoutburst
The time-resolved observations of TCP J07222683+6220548 aka ZTF25aacfjde
have been repoted by Itoh-san, Sano-san, Josch Hambsch and Tamás Tordai.
This object showed a 4-mag dip in the middle of the outburst, and
time-resolved observations by Itoh-san after the recovery from this dip
detected single-peaked variations with a period of 0.03256(2) d, likely an
ordinary superhump.
Thus TCP J07222683+6220548 is a new AM CVn star showing a …

TCP J04272195-2528038; possibly a new AM CVn star in outburst?
TCP J04272195-2528038 was discovered by Y. Nakamura on 2025-01-09.4837 UT
at 14.2 mag. The quiescence counterpart is g_PS1=21.09(5) mag, thus
outburst amplitude is ~7 mag.

Itoh-san and myself using the SAAO/Lesedi telescope have reported the
time-resolved observations. The SAAO data shows a …

modulation with a period of ~42.6 min.
In addition, the optical spectrum I obtained with the 1.9m telescope at the
SAAO shows only the He I absorption lines, lacking any significant Balmer
emission/absorption lines.
Further observations are encouraged to establish its classification and
determine the variation period.
