[vsnet-campaign-dn 17539] TCP J16271026-1030020: a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova candidate possibly with large-amplitude early superhump

TCP J16271026-1030020: a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova candidate possibly with large-amplitude early superhump TCP J16271026-1030020 was discovered by T. Kojima on 2025-07-25.52 UTC at 13.8 mag (unfiltered). ATLAS force photometry and ASASSN also detect this outburst since 2025-07-22.3 UTC, peaking around g~12.6 mag. The Pan-STARRS1 counterpart is g=22.1(2) mag, giving the outburst amplitude of ~9.5 mag. http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J16271026-1030020.html https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10867693 I have obtained the low-resolution spectrum with the Lesedi telescope at the SAAO Sutherland. This spectrum shows prominent Balmer, He II 4686, and other He I emission lines with no absorption features. Itoh-san also reported the time-resolved observations for ~45 min. The light curve shows a modulation of ~0.2 mag. These overall features suggest that TCP J16271026-1030020 is a new large-amplitude dwarf nova, most likely a WZ Sge-type, showing relatively large early superhump amplitude. Further time-resolved observations (with multiple bands, if possible) and time-resolved spectroscopy are encouraged.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17536] ASASSN-25dc; a new candidate of a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with the double superoutburst

ASASSN-25dc; a new candidate of a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with the double superoutburst ASASSN-25dc was discovered by ASAS-SN on 2025-07-13.09 UTC at g=13.07. This outburst is also observed by ATLAS, o~15.2 mag on 2025-07-07.8 UTC and o~13.5 mag on 2025-07-10.9 UTC. The likely counterpart is Gaia DR3 6129070308813533568 with G~21.0 mag, hence the outburst amplitude is ~7.0 mag. This system underwent a short dip on 16-17th July, around 14.5 mag, and is now recovering from the dip. Lesedi telescope at Sutherland, Josch Hambsh, and Berto Monard have reported the time-resolved observations of ASASSN-25dc. PDM analysis using the overall data yields a single-peaked modulation with a period of 0.05991(4) d and an amplitude of 0.03 mag. Combining the 1-mag dip feature on the light curve and short superhump period, ASASSN-25dc can be a similar system to double-superoutburst WZ Sge-type dwarf novae, especially the period-bouncer candidates ASASSN-15jd and ASASSN-16hg (see Kimura et al. 2016,2018). https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.06344 https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03179 The ongoing second outburst should show the evolution of ordinary superhumps. The hint of ordinary superhumps is seen in the observations on 17th July. Further time-resolved observations are encouraged.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17537] TCP J19181542+3158142: likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
by Yusuke Tampo 23 Jul '25

TCP J19181542+3158142: likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova TCP J19181542+3158142 was discovered by the XOSS team on 18 July at 15.22 mag. The quiescence counterpart is a Pan-STARRS1 source with r=21.35(3) mag, indicating the outburst amplitude of ~6 mag. Itoh-san reported the time-resolved observations for three nights on 19-21 July. Although the scatter is large, PDM analysis yields a period of 0.05525(7) d, with an amplitude of ~0.1 mag and a double-peaked profile, probably early superhumps. Thus, TCP J19181542+3158142 is likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. This system is a bit faint for time-resolved observations (currently ~15.8 mag), but further observations are encouraged to confirm its superhump profile and evolution.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17534] TCP J19335406+4220008: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova

Dear colleagues, I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J19335406+4220008, obtained on Jun 29/30 and Jun 30/Jul 01, 2025 at CBA Extremadura Observatory (Spain). The data was collected using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and Moravian G2-4000 CCD camera under clear skies. The object was discovered by XOSS (Mi Zhang, Jianlin Xu, Guoyou Sun, Jiangao Ruan, et al.) on Jun 21st. The light curve clearly reveals the presence of regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.13 mag, establishing TCP J19335406+4220008 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. A period analysis, using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0615 +/- 0.0003d. The object was measured at mag CV = 14.9 on Jul 01st. Image calibration and photometry were performed using the latest release of Phoranso, allowing us to simultaneously collect observations of 4 additional interesting VSX stars in the same FOV. Further observations are encouraged to refine the superhump period. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
