[vsnet-campaign-dn 16063] 1RXS J063214.8+253620

21 Oct '21

1RXS J063214.8+253620 This object is a long-period SS Cyg star and does not require special time-resolved photometry. Using ZTF data, I obtained an orbital period of 0.324254(3) d (in agreement with Armstrong et al. 2016 using K2 data). The profile is double wave (ellipsoidal variation) + orbital hump, as expected for a low-Mdot SS Cyg star.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 16058] ASASSN-21tg: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova

18 Oct '21

ASASSN-21tg: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova Josch Hambsch has reported further observations. The object showed superhumps on Oct. 17. The period is not well determined, but is close to 0.1 d. The current amplitude is 0.2 mag. The object is not an AM CVn star as initially suggested from the decline rate of the precursor. The very rapid deline for this orbital period is exceptional. Further observations are needed.

[vsnet-campaign-dn 16054] ASASSN-21tg: very rapid fading
by Taichi Kato 16 Oct '21

16 Oct '21

ASASSN-21tg: very rapid fading Josch Hambsch reported observations. The object faded from 16.6 to 17.4 between Oct. 14.975 to 15.100. The rapid fading suggests an AM CVn-type object. A period of 0.021(1) d has been detected, but this needs to be confirmed by further observations.
