Dear colleagues, TCP J03173646+7459318 was discovered by XOSS (Xingming Observatory Sky Survey) on 2025 Sep 21.8 at mag 13.78C. The quiescent counterpart is a 20.9 V mag object, implying an outburst amplitude of ~8 mag. I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J03173646+7459318, obtained on 2025 Sep 22/23 at CBA Extremadura Observatory. The data were acquired under clear skies with a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and a Moravian G2-4000 CCD. The light curve clearly reveals double-peaked modulations consistent with early superhumps, with an amplitude of 0.09 mag. A period analysis, using ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0600 +/- 0.0006d. The object was measured at mag CV = 13.6 on Sep 23rd. Image calibration and photometry were performed with the latest release of Phoranso, which enabled simultaneous photometry of several additional variable stars within the same frames. These findings strongly suggest that TCP J03173646+7459318 is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Continued monitoring is strongly encouraged to study the superhump profile and evolution. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

Dear colleagues, TCP J20143906+0352503 was discovered by XOSS (Xingming Observatory Sky Survey) on 2025 Sep 16.7 at mag 15.72C. The quiescent counterpart is possibly a 21.1 V mag star 2" to the W, implying an outburst amplitude of ~5 mag. I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J20143906+0352503, obtained on 2025 Sep 22/23 at CBA Extremadura Observatory. The data were acquired under clear skies with a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and a Moravian G2-4000 CCD. The light curve clearly exhibits superhump modulations with an amplitude of 0.25 mag. Period analysis with ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0641 +/- 0.0006d. The object was measured at mag CV = 16.4 on Sep 23rd. Additional observations obtained on earlier nights (e.g. Sep 21/22) also showed superhump activity; however, the data sets were too short due to clouds to permit a reliable period determination. Image calibration and photometry were performed with the latest release of Phoranso, which enabled simultaneous photometry of several additional variable stars within the same frames. These results establish TCP J20143906+0352503 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Follow-up observations are encouraged. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17547] ASASSN-25dt: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

Dear colleagues, ASASSN-25dt was discovered by the ASAS-SN Survey (Ohio State University) on 2025 Sep 05.3 at mag 14.5 V/g. The quiescent counterpart is a 20.1 g mag Pan-STARRS1 object, implying an outburst amplitude of ~5-6 mag. I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of ASASSN-25dt, obtained on 2025 Sep 10/11 and Sep 11/12 at CBA Extremadura Observatory. The data were acquired under (mostly) clear skies with a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and a Moravian G2-4000 CCD. The Sep 10/11 light curve showed only irregular, small-amplitude variability. However, the Sep 11/12 light curve clearly exhibits superhump modulations with an amplitude of 0.27 mag. Period analysis with ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0605 +/- 0.0008d. The object was measured at mag CV = 15.9 on Sep 12th. Image calibration and photometry were carried out with the latest release of Phoranso. These results establish ASASSN-25dt as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Follow-up observations are encouraged. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17546] TCP J21091443-0917104 (=ASASSN-25dq): new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by Yusuke Tampo 08 Sep '25

08 Sep '25

TCP J21091443-0917104 (=ASASSN-25dq): new SU UMa-type dwarf nova NMW Survey discovered TCP J21091443-0917104 at 12.4 mag on 2025 08 22.8877 UCT. They suspected it could be a new UV Cet star based on its coincidence with the bright Gaia object (Gaia DR3 6896395696896704000; G=14.44, Plx=3.12 +/-0.04 mas). https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10867963 http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J21091443-0917104.html S. Brincat and J. Hambsch have reported the time-resolved observations. Combining the observations by W. Goltz on AAVSO, I obtained a single-peak variation with a period of 0.05887(3) d, from the outburst maximum. ZTF light curve also shows a slow decline over the last two weeks, which is unlike a UV Cet star but agrees with a dwarf nova outburst. https://alerce.online/object/ZTF21abtlwbr Thus TCP J21091443-0917104 is most likely a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Considering its relatively short superhump period and expected large amplitude of outburst, the Gaia object can be a foreground star. The object is currently g=14.2 mag.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17545] TCP J22135399+3015357: a likely new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
by Tonny Vanmunster 21 Aug '25

21 Aug '25

Dear colleagues, TCP J22135399+3015357 was discovered by the NMW survey at the Astroverty astrofarm in Russia on 2025 Aug 19.8 at mag 13.6 CR. Archival images show that the object was already in outburst one day earlier. The quiescent counterpart is listed at 22.8 r mag, implying an outburst amplitude of ~9 mag. I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J22135399+3015357, obtained on 2025 Aug 20/21 at CBA Extremadura Observatory. The data were acquired under clear skies with a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and a Moravian G2-4000 CCD. The light curve reveals clear double-peaked modulations consistent with early superhumps, with an amplitude of 0.11 mag. A period analysis, using ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0612 +/- 0.0012d. The object was measured at mag CV = 14.2 on Aug 20th. Image calibration and photometry were performed with the latest release of Phoranso. These findings strongly suggest that TCP J22135399+3015357 is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Continued monitoring is strongly encouraged to study the superhump profile and evolution. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17544] TCP J21382907+4146190 (aka AT 2025sss): new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
by tonny.vanmunster＠gmail.com 13 Aug '25

13 Aug '25

Dear colleagues, I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J21382907+4146190 (aka AT 2025sss), obtained on 2025 Aug 12/13 at CBA Extremadura Observatory. The data were collected under clear skies using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and a Moravian G2-4000 CCD. I have been observing this object nightly since Aug 02nd with only one night missed. TCP J21382907+4146190 was discovered by Yuji Nakamura (Japan) on Aug 01.55 UT. It has a g=22.6 mag counterpart, implying an outburst amplitude of ~8.5 mag. Until last night, no clear modulations were visible in the light curves. The Aug 12/13 light curve now shows clear ordinary superhumps with an amplitude of 0.16 mag. Given their late onset (11 days after detection) and the large outburst amplitude, we conclude that TCP J21382907+4146190 is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. A period analysis, using ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0640 +/- 0.0012d. The object was measured at mag CV = 14.9 on Aug 12th. Image calibration and photometry were performed with the latest release of Phoranso. Further observations are strongly encouraged to refine the superhump period. I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17536] ASASSN-25dc; a new candidate of a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with the double superoutburst
by Yusuke Tampo 13 Aug '25

13 Aug '25

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 17542] ASASSN-25df; new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by Yusuke Tampo 08 Aug '25

08 Aug '25

ASASSN-25df; new SU UMa-type dwarf nova ASASSN-25df was discovered by ASAS-SN on 2025-07-28.02 UTC at g=13.51 mag. The outburst amplitude is ~8.0 mag. ATLAS has also detected this outburst since 2025-07-25. https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10867883 Josch Hambsh reported the time-resolved observations. The observations after 2025-08-02 show strong variations with an amplitude of ~0.1 mag. Due to the short baselines because of its RA~12.5 hr, the superhump period is not well constrained; a possible period is ~0.067 d, but other aliases are equally possible. Thus, I conclude that ASASSN-25df is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. A waiting time of ~7 days before the appearance of ordinary superhumps suggests that ASASSN-25df can be a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 17539] TCP J16271026-1030020: a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova candidate possibly with large-amplitude early superhump
by Yusuke Tampo 05 Aug '25

05 Aug '25

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

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.
