OT J002656.6+284933 (CSS101212:002657+284933): An SU UMa-Type Dwarf Nova with Longest Superhump Period
Taichi Kato, Tamas Tordai, Colin Littlefield +17
We observed the 2016 outburst of OT J002656.6+284933 (CSS101212:002657+284933) and found that it has the longest recorded [0.13225(1) d in average] superhumps among SU UMa-type dwa…
ASASSN-18aan: An Eclipsing SU UMa-type Cataclysmic Variable with a 3.6-hour Orbital Period and a Late G-type Secondary Star
Yasuyuki Wakamatsu, John R. Thorstensen, Naoto Kojiguchi +41
We report photometric and spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing SU UMa-type dwarf nova ASASSN-18aan. We observed the 2018 superoutburst with 2.3 mag brightening and found the…
RZ Leonis Minoris Bridging between ER Ursae Majoris-Type Dwarf Nova and Novalike System
Taichi Kato, Ryoko Ishioka, Keisuke Isogai +64
We observed RZ LMi, which is renowned for the extremely (~19d) short supercycle and is a member of a small, unusual class of cataclysmic variables called ER UMa-type dwarf novae, i…
Survey of Period Variations of Superhumps in SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae. X: The Tenth Year (2017)
Taichi Kato, Keisuke Isogai, Yasuyuki Wakamatsu +67
Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, PASJ, 61, S395, arXiv/0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 102 SU UMa-type dwarf novae observed mainly duri…
Return of the King: Time-Series Photometry of FO Aquarii's Initial Recovery from its Unprecedented 2016 Low State
Colin Littlefield, Peter Garnavich, Mark R. Kennedy +28
In 2016 May, the intermediate polar FO~Aqr was detected in a low state for the first time in its observational history. We report time-resolved photometry of the system during its…
ASASSN-16eg: New candidate of long-period WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
Yasuyuki Wakamatsu, Keisuke Isogai, Mariko Kimura +19
We report on our photometric observations of the 2016 superoutburst of ASASSN-16eg. This object showed a WZ Sge-type superoutburst with prominent early superhumps with a period of…
ASASSN-16dt and ASASSN-16hg: Promising Candidates for a Period Bouncer
Mariko Kimura, Keisuke Isogai, Taichi Kato +13
We present optical photometry of superoutbursts in 2016 of two WZ Sge-type dwarf novae (DNe), ASASSN-16dt and ASASSN-16hg. Their light curves showed a dip in brightness between the…
The First Post-Kepler Brightness Dips of KIC 8462852
Tabetha S. Boyajian, Roi Alonso, Alex Ammerman +203
We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May. Our regular photometr…
Survey of Period Variations of Superhumps in SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae. IX: The Ninth Year (2016-2017)
Taichi Kato, Keisuke Isogai, Franz-Josef Hambsch +76
Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, arXiv:0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 127 SU UMa-type dwarf novae observed mainly during the 2016--201…
On the Nature of Long-Period Dwarf Novae with Rare and Low-Amplitude Outbursts
Mariko Kimura, Taichi Kato, Hiroyuki Maehara +35
There are several peculiar long-period dwarf-nova like objects, which show rare, low-amplitude outbursts with highly ionized emission lines. 1SWASP J162117441254, BD Pav, and V3…
Survey of Period Variations of Superhumps in SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae. VIII: The Eighth Year (2015-2016)
Taichi Kato, Franz-Josef Hambsch, Berto Monard +75
Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, arXiv:0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 128 SU UMa-type dwarf novae observed mainly during the 2015-2016…
