[vsnet-outburst 31515] ASASSN-25bz: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by Yusuke Tampo 28 May '25

28 May '25

ASASSN-25bz: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova ASASSN-25bz (=AT 2025lkr) was discovered at 14.8 mag on 20 May by ASAS-SN. The suggested outburst amplitude is ~8 mag according to the VSX. ASAS-SN reported to the TNS that this could be a classical nova based on its low Galactic latitude b~-2.0 deg. https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10848672 I obtained the time-resolved observations of ASASSN-25bz with the SAAO/Lesedi telescope on 26 and 27 May. Its light curve shows a prominent ordinary superhump with an amplitude of 0.15 mag and a period of ~0.0561(1) d (1-d aliases are possible). The optical spectrum obtained on 23 May with the SAAO/Lesedi telescope is dominated by Balmer absorption lines. Thus, I conclude that ASASSN-25bz is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. The system is around 15.6 mag.

[vsnet-outburst 31513] TCP J18513997+3522412: large-amplitude modulation, possibly eclipsing WZ Sge-type dwarf nova?

TCP J18513997+3522412: large-amplitude modulation, possibly eclipsing WZ Sge-type dwarf nova? TCP J18513997+3522412 was discovered by Y. Nakamura on 22nd May at 13.7 mag (unfiltered). The counterpart star in Pan-STARRS1 is r~20.5 mag, and thus the outburst amplitude is 6.8 mag. http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J18513997+3522412.html https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10848644 Sano-san reported the time-resolved observations of this object. Although the baseline was just one hour, the light curve shows a large-amplitude modulation of ~0.35 mag. This is likely either an ordinary superhump in a SU UMa-type dwarf nova or even a large-amplitude early superhump + eclipse in an eclipsing WZ Sge-type dwarf nova. Further time-resolved observations with longer baselines are encouraged.

[vsnet-outburst 31512] TCP J02472889+6758170 = Gaia DR3 517539710877791488

TCP J02472889+6758170 = Gaia DR3 517539710877791488 The NMW team discovered this transient at 13.0 mag (unfiltered), which is associated with the known variable star Gaia DR3 517539710877791488 with ~18.0 mag. They suggest that this could be an AM CVn star in outburst. Its blue color in the Pan-STARRS1 image also supports this suggestion, and TCP J02472889+6758170 is at least a CV in new outburst. http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J02472889+6758170.html https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=2841325 Time-resoved observations are encouraged.

[vsnet-outburst 31508] ASASSN-25bu: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova
by Yusuke Tampo 23 May '25

23 May '25

ASASSN-25bu: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova ASASSN-25b was discovered by ASAS-SN on 2025-05-12.06. The outburst amplitude is ~8.3 mag according to the VSX. This object is currently ~17.5 mag. https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10848624 Josch Hambsch and the SAAO team have reported the time-seeries observations of ASASSN-25bu. Lesedi/Mookodi observations on 22 May showed probable superhumps with a period of ~0.0574 d and an amplitude of ~0.15 mag. Thus ASASSN-25bu is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Considering its short superhump period, large outburst amplitude, and no previous outbursts, ASASSN-25bu might be a WZ Sge-type.

ZTF18acynctq = TCP J20402089+4915562 = ASASSN-25bt: new SU UMa star candidate XOSS team via TOCP/TNS and ASAS-SN reported the 2025 outburst of this system, which is already known as ZTF18acynctq in its 2018 outburst. https://alerce.online/object/ZTF18acynctq http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J20402089+4915562.html https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10848612 Its 2018 outburst lasted for ~15 days and showed a possible rebrightening in the ATLAS data. Thus the outburst cycle is ~2300 d. This system is currently ~16.0 mag, and time-resolved observations may detect superhumps.
