ASASSN-25eq: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, likely a period bouncer
ASASSN discovered ASASSN-25eq on 2025-11-13.18 UT at 15.07 mag. Then it brightened to g=14.0 mag on 2025-11-15. The VSX lists g=21.9 mag as the counterpart, hence the outburst amplitude is ~8 mag. https://vsx.aavso.org/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10868208 https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/579ca10e-176d-4c3b-958f-03a39d...
Josch Hambsh and Berto Monard have reported the time-resolved observations of ASASSN-25eq. The light curve shows a 1-mag dip around 2025-11-25 UT. After this dip, clear superhumps are present, with a period of ~0.0645 d. There is no clear modulation before the dip. Thus, ASASSN-25eq is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, with a double-superoutburst feature often observed in a period bouncer system. See e.g. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018PASJ...70...47K/abstract
Given the absence of clear early superhumps, ASASSN-25eq is presumably a face-on system. A spectrum taken with the Mookodi/Lesedi telescope on 16 Nov. is dominated by Balmer absorption lines, which supports this interpretation.
Time-resolved observations are encouraged.
