TCP J08011102-0343141; new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
TCP J08011102-0343141 was discovered by the XOSS team on 2026 02 08.8
UT at 15.1 mag.
http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J08011102-0343141.html
Itoh-san has reported the time-resolved observations of TCP
J08011102-0343141. The light curve shows double-peaked modulation with
a period of ~0.069 d and an amplitude of ~0.02 mag, although
1-d-aliased periods are still possible. Given its large outburst
amplitude of ~8 mag, this is most likely early superhumps of a WZ
Sge-type dwarf nova.
I also obtained an optical spectrum of TCP J08011102-0343141 with the
1.9m telescope at the SAAO Sutherland Observatory on 2026 02 09 UT.
The spectrum shows Balmer absorption lines, consistent with this
classification.

TCPJ06571119-1724439: most likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
Yuji Nakamura discovered TCPJ06571119-1724439 on 2026 01 18.5375 UTC
at 14.2 mag.
http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J06571119-1724439.html
I have observed TCPJ06571119-1724439 with the Lesedi telescope at the
Sutherland observatory on 18 and 19 Jan. The light curve shows
double-peaked modulations with a period of ~0.0550 d and an amplitude
of ~0.08 mag.
Thus TCPJ06571119-1724439 is most likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
Further observations are encouraged.

Dear colleagues,
TCP J07353147+0910341 was discovered by XOSS (Xingming Observatory Sky
Survey) on 2025 Dec 29.75 at mag 14.8 C. The quiescent counterpart is a 22.4
g mag star, implying an outburst amplitude of ~8 mag.
I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD time-series
observations of TCP J07353147+0910341, obtained on 2026 Jan 14/15 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 camera.
I also obtained observations on several nights prior to Jan 14/15, but those
did not reveal any obvious modulation. In contrast, the Jan 14/15 light
curve clearly shows regular superhump modulations with an amplitude of 0.25
mag. A period analysis using ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle
and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0660
+/- 0.0008d. The object was measured at mag CV = 16.1 on Jan 14th.
Image calibration and photometry were carried out using the latest release
of Phoranso, which enabled simultaneous photometry of several additional
variable stars in the same field of view.
These results establish TCP J07353147+0910341 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf
nova. Further follow-up observations are strongly encouraged to refine the
superhump period and study its evolution.
I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
With kind regards,
Tonny

ASASSN-26ad; new SU UMa-type dwarf nova, likely a WZ Sge star
ASASSN-26ad was discovered by ASASSN on 2026-01-04.1 UT at 14.57 mag.
The outburst amplitude is ~8.3 mag according to the VSX.
https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10868368
Sjoerd Dufoer, Josch Hambsch, and Itoh-san have reported the
time-resolved observations. Although there were some modulations from
the early outburst, clear single-peaked superhumps have appeared after
2026-01-10. The mean superhump period is ~0.0618 d. Thus, ASASSN-26ad
is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Given its large outburst amplitude
and long waiting time before the appearance of positive superhumps,
ASASSN-26ad is likely a WZ Sge star.

Yusuke

ASASSN-25fj; new SU UMa-type dwarf nova, most likely WZ Sge type
ASASSN reported the discovery of ASASSN-25fj on 2026-01-1.19 UT. The
observed maximum was approximately at 12.2 mag on 2025-12-25.0 UT
according to ASASSN.
https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/ec92b0f6-1377-450b-b464-7fbe3…
The likely counterpart is GALEX J050001.2-571430 (NUV=21.5(2) mag) and
DES J050001.26-571430.1 (g=21.278(9) mag). Thus the outburst
amplitude is ~9mag.
Lesedi telescope at the SAAO and Josch Hambsch have reported the
time-resolved observations of ASASSN-25fj. Its light curve after
2026-01-03 shows single-peaked ordinary superhumps with a period of
~0.0556 d and an amplitude of > 0.1 mag.
Hence, ASASSN-25fj is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Given its large
outburst amplitude and short superhump period, it most likely belongs
to the WZ Sge subtype.
Continuous observations are encouraged.
Best regards,
Yusuke

TCP J16425922+2621020: a large amplitude CV candidate, likely a WZ
Sge-type dwarf nova
Tadashi Kojima reported the discovery of TCP J16425922+2621020 on 2025
12 26.8538 UTC at 13.0 mag (unfiltered).
http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J16425922+2621020.html
The likely counterpart is 3"-away Gaia DR3 1301247792154799488,
G=20.044(8) mag at 674 (-144/+248) pc. Thus, the absolute magnitudes
in quiescence and outburst are ~10.9(7) and ~3.9(7) mag, respectively.
This is also recorded in the Gaia white dwarf candidate catalogs
(e.g., Gentile et al. 2021).
http://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR?-source=&-out.add=_r&-out.add=_…
Given its large outburst amplitude of ~7 mag, no previous outbursts,
and possible white dwarf-dominated spectral energy distribution in
quiescence, TCP J16425922+2621020 is most likely a WZ Sge-type dwarf
nova in outburst. Although time-resolved observations are almost
impossible for now due to its RA=16hr, this might be a nice target for
future observations.
Best regards,
Yusuke

ASASSN-22nd (=AT2025ahnc= ZTF25acibbkf =ASASSN-25fb); a new
fast-decaying outburst
GOTO, ZTF, and ASASSN have detected a new outburst from a known CV
candidate ASASSN-22nd.
https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=2345330https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2025ahnchttps://lasair-ztf.lsst.ac.uk/objects/ZTF25acibbkf/https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/19517db9-fb36-4d9c-a94d-2ca87…
This outburst shows a fast decay, approximately 1 mag/d. Considering
its large amplitude(>7mag), relatively short outburst cycle (~3
years), and fast decay of the outburst, this outburst could be a
precursor outburst of a dwarf nova superoutburst, or even from an AM
CVn star.
Although the system is currently faint (~18.5 mag in ATLAS), if the
system returns to a bright state, time-resolved photometries will be
encouraged.

Yusuke

ASASSN-25eq: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, likely a period bouncer
ASASSN discovered ASASSN-25eq on 2025-11-13.18 UT at 15.07 mag. Then
it brightened to g=14.0 mag on 2025-11-15. The VSX lists g=21.9 mag as
the counterpart, hence the outburst amplitude is ~8 mag.
https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10868208https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/579ca10e-176d-4c3b-958f-03a39…
Josch Hambsh and Berto Monard have reported the time-resolved
observations of ASASSN-25eq. The light curve shows a 1-mag dip around
2025-11-25 UT. After this dip, clear superhumps are present, with a
period of ~0.0645 d. There is no clear modulation before the dip.
Thus, ASASSN-25eq is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, with a
double-superoutburst feature often observed in a period bouncer
system.
See e.g. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018PASJ...70...47K/abstract
Given the absence of clear early superhumps, ASASSN-25eq is presumably
a face-on system. A spectrum taken with the Mookodi/Lesedi telescope
on 16 Nov. is dominated by Balmer absorption lines, which supports
this interpretation.
Time-resolved observations are encouraged.

Yusuke

TCP J07454958-2442056: most likely a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
TCP J07454958-2442056 was discovered by Yuji Nakamura on 13th Oct 2025
at 14.0 mag (unfiltered). According to VSX, the outburst amplitude is
~8.2 mag.
https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10868099
Josch Hambsch and Sjoerd Dufoer have reported the time-resolved
observations of this source. The light curve shows possible superhumps
with a period of ~0.055 d, although I cannot conclude due to its
faintness and 1-d aliases. Given its large outburst amplitude, almost
40-d outburst duration, and short superhump period, TCP
J07454958-2442056 is most likely a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
Note that the system has already faded below the detection level of ATLAS.
