ASASSN-25ce: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova

ASAS-SN discovered ASASSN-25ce on 2025-05-28 UTC at 12.26 mag. The Gaia counterpart is G~20.7 mag thus the outburst amplitude is ~8.5 mag.

The SAAO team and Berto Monard reported the time-resolved observations. These light curves show a double-peak modulation with an amplitude of ~0.1 mag and a period of ~0.05537(1) d. The 5-sec resolution observations by the SAAO/Lesedi telescope also show QPO-like modulation with 5--10 min. Hence, ASASSN-25ce is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, possibly with a relatively higher inclination, while no clear eclipses are present. Further time-resolved observations are encouraged.
