Re: QS Tel low state (polar) There was apparently a problem with upper limits of ASAS-SN Sky Patrol Photom. DB. Not so faint in ATLAS (not in low state).

AR UMa short-term variations Josch Hambsch reported time-resolved observations. In addition to the expected orbital modulation (0.7 mag), QPO-like variations were also recorded, which are often observed in polars.

[vsnet-campaign-polar 150]EF Eri: dips
by Taichi Kato 27 Dec '22

27 Dec '22

EF Eri: dips Observations by Kiyota-san and Itoh-san clearly shows short-duration dips such as at 2022 Dec. 25.618 (UT). These dips were not seen in every orbit but were present almost on every night. The durations were 2-3 min and were 0.8-mag deep. Ingress was slower and egress was sometimes sudden (within 30s).

Re: EF Eri profile Berto Monard has provided observations on 2006 Mar. 11 (one of high states in the 2000s). The orbital profile was similar to the current one (two maxima per period). It was not always the case in the past. See e.g.: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1987A%26A...181L..15L/abstract

EF Eri profile Kyoto U. team, Kiyota-san, Itoh-san, Peter Starr and Josch Hambsch have reported observation. The object shows very clear two peaks (full amplitude 0.7 mag) in one orbital period. The period 0.056269(3) d is in very good agreement with the published one. There is also a dip (somewhat variable), which may be an eclipse of/by the accretion column.

EF Eri short-term variations Kyoto U. team obtained high time-resolution observations. The object showed QPO-like variations with time scales of about 5 min. They could arise from instabilities in the accretion column. Itoh-san and Kiyota-san also reported observations showing large modulations.
