[vsnet-chat 9317] MGAB-V240: standstill interrupted by fading (AM CVn?)
by Taichi Kato 20 Feb '23

20 Feb '23

MGAB-V240: standstill interrupted by fading (AM CVn?) Using ZTF data in 2022, I noticed that a standstill was interrupted by up to 2 mag short fading at least four times. The object became brighter (for a short time) after such events. The fading rates exceeded 1 mag/d in some cases and this object may be an AM CVn star. If this identification is correct, repeated regular outbursts before 2020 were superoutbursts (with a supercycle of about 10-15 d). Faint, but unusual object.

SSS J090619.2-275831: ER UMa star Using ATLAS forced photometry (Tonry et al. 2018; Shingles et al. 2021). Almost certainly ER UMa star, regular supercycle of 50-55 d. Maximum 16.0 mag.

[vsnet-chat 9313] ASASSN-15cm: SU UMa star with Porb=0.2085 d
by Taichi Kato 11 Feb '23

ASASSN-15cm: SU UMa star with Porb=0.2085 d Using ZTF (Masci et al., 2019) and ATLAS forced photometry (Tonry et al. 2018; Shingles et al. 2021) data, I found that this object showed a superoutburst in 2019 Aug. Like BO Cet with the same set of data (arXiv:2302.02593 = VSOLJ Variable Star Bulletin No. 106), I obtained a period of 0.2196(1) d, 5.3% longer than the orbital period. This corresponds to q about 0.22 (arXiv:2201.02945 = VSOLJ Variable Star Bulletin No. 89). The core of the secondary of this object appears to be evolved (Thorstensen et al. 2016 AJ 152, 226) and this probably enabled a relatively small q. Another apparent superoutburst was also recorded in 2022 Jan. and future direct detection of superhumps are wanted.
