Re: ASASSN-18su Superhumps were already detected during the 2018 superoutburst by Berto Monard. Superhumps appeared on 2018 Aug. 25. Due to the short visibility, the period was not determined.

[vsnet-newvar 9371] ASASSN-18su (super?)outburst (since June 24)
by Patrick Schmeer 28 Jun '22

28 Jun '22

ASASSN-18su (UG) https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=623474 ASASSN-18su was discovered on 2018 August 17. Unfortunately that outburst could be followed for only few days. After the seasonal gap a very long fading tail can be seen in ATLAS forced photometry data. T. Kato wrote (vsnet-alert 22429): "The Gaia proper motion is comparable to that of OV Boo ... ASASSN-18su looks likely a population II CV candidate." The current outburst was detected by Rod Stubbings at mv= 11.3 on 2022 June 28.537 UT (vsnet-outburst 28822, vsnet-alert 26852). It had already started on June 24 and is 1.5 magnitudes fainter than the 2018 outburst according to ASAS-SN Sky Patrol data: https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/52d16cd1-3548-431f-a7fc-326e3… Time-resolved photometry is urgently required.

[vsnet-newvar 9370] TCP J15244460-6059200: strange Galactic nova (mag. 11) in Circinus
by Patrick Schmeer 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

TCP J15244460-6059200 (N) (submitted to VSX) RA 15h24m47.62s DE -60°59'47.3" (Gaia DR3, equinox and epoch J2000.0) Discoverer: Andrew Pearce (Nedlands, Western Australia) http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J15244460-6059200.html Elias Aydi et al.: "SOAR spectroscopic follow-up of the Galactic optical transient TCP J15244460-6059200" (ATel #15473): https://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=15473 Quote: "The spectrum resembles that of a very fast classical nova after optical peak. The low amplitude of the transient raises questions about its nature and the possible progenitor match. TCP J15244460-6059200 could be an unusually low-amplitude, ultra-fast nova or a more exotic phenomenon. There is a slight chance that the actual progenitor system is much fainter and coincides with the bright (~14 mag) match, which would explain the unusually low- amplitude of the transient." The likely progenitor is the Gaia DR3 source 5875610751015084544 (Gmag. 13.75, BP-RP= 0.73, Teff ~22500 K, parallax 0.11 ± 0.02 mas, distance 6.5 ± 0.8 kpc). SMSS data: gPSF= 13.98, rPSF= 13.70, iPSF= 13.74 APASS data: V= 13.88, B= 14.35, g'= 14.08, r'= 13.70, i'= 13.65 So the eruption amplitude seems to be only 3 magnitudes! And the likely progenitor does not look like a typical CV in quiescence.
