AT2026ryu: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova, likely WZ Sge-type Rui Min et al discovered AT2026ryu at 14.98 mag on 2026-07-06 15:01:24 UTC. The outburst amplitude is ~8 mag. ZTF also discovered this object as ZTF26abeziup. https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2026ryu https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10875920 Lesedi telescope at SAAO and Itoh-san have reported the time-resolved observations of AT2026ryu. The most recent observations on 14 July with Lesedi show ordinary superhumps with a period of ~0.0571 d. No clear modulations are present in the data on 6 and 7 July. Thus AT 2026ryu is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Given its large outburst amplitude and long waiting time before the emergence of ordinary superhumps, AT 2026ryu is likely a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Time-resolved observations are encouraged to improve the period determination.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17585] ASASSN-26ea: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova, likely WZ Sge-type

ASASSN-26ea: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova ASASSN-26ea was discovered by ASASSN on 2026-07-5.07 at 16.67 mag. The time-resolved observations by Sjoerd Dufoer show ordinary superhumps with a period of ~0.058 d (other aliases possible). Thus ASASSN-26ea is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Considering its large outburst amplitude (~8 mag according to the VSX) and short superhump period, ASASSN-26ea can be a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10875918 Best regards, Yusuke -- ---------------------------------------------- South African Astronomical Observatory, Postdoc fellow Yusuke TAMPO / 反保雄介 EMAIL: tampo(a)kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp ALT.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17584] ASASSN-26dv: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova and a candidate period bouncer

ASASSN-26dv: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova and a candidate period bouncer ASASSN-26dv was discovered by ASASSN on 2026-06-23.03 UT at 14.62 mag. After the initial decline, ATLAS and ASASSN light curves showed a short dip around 2026-07-05 UT. https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10875895 The time-resolved observations after this dip by Berto Monard show likely positive superhumps, with a period of ~0.055 d. Thus, ASASSN-26dv is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova with a possible dip in the outburst plateau, which is often seen in outbursts in period bouncers. Further time-resolved observations are encouraged to establish its superhump period.
