EF Eri (polar) still bright Large-amplitude variations were suggested from observations by Josch Hambsch. The time resolution was not enough. Observations with higher time resolution are recommended.

Re: DDE 35: more likely a polar E. Pavlenko has advised that this object is too blue for a polar. The data by Crimean Astrophys. Obs. team in 2020 showed flickering, but no indication of stable superhumps nor orbital variation. Although a period of 0.20976(3) d was suspected from CrAO observations (by my analysis), this period was not detected in the ZTF data. This object indeed looks like a CV with high/low states, but is certainly neither an SU UMa nor a polar. This object is … [View More]

[vsnet-campaign-polar 141]DDE 35: more likely a polar

DDE 35: more likely a polar This object was classified as an SU UMa star based on superhump detection (vsnet-alert 24074). These humps, however, were seen only on two nights (2020 Mar. 16 and 18) and no humps were apparent on Mar. 19. The ZTF data show distinct high and low states unlike an SU UMa star (currently in bright state starting from late 2021). The magnitude (around 16) in 2020 Mar. was too faint (M_V=+6.6) for a superoutburst. The behavior suggests that the object is … [View More]

IPHAS J184326.48+060800.9 (eclipsing polar) high state http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts/alert/Gaia21ewn/ High state of this polar has not been seen in the ZTF data. First time in recent years. See [vsnet-chat 8874] (Sep. 22) about the nature of this object.
