The 2006 November outburst of EG Aquarii: the SU UMa nature revealed
Akira Imada, Rod Stubbings, Taichi Kato +32
We report time-resolved CCD photometry of the cataclysmic variable EG Aquarii during the 2006 November outburst During the outburst, superhumps were unambiguously detected with a m…
Spectral evolution of GRB 060904A observed with Swift and Suzaku -- Possibility of Inefficient Electron Acceleration
Daisuke Yonetoku, Sachiko Tanabe, Toshio Murakami +39
We observed an X-ray afterglow of GRB 060904A with the Swift and Suzaku satellites. We found rapid spectral softening during both the prompt tail phase and the decline phase of an…
Long-term monitoring of the short period SU UMa-type dwarf nova, V844 Herculis
Shota Oizumi, Toshihiro Omodaka, Hiroyuki Yamamoto +19
We report on time-resolved CCD photometry of four outbursts of a short-period SU UMa-type dwarf nova, V844 Herculis. We successfully determined the mean superhump periods to be 0.0…
MITSuME--Multicolor Imaging Telescopes for Survey and Monstrous Explosions
T. Kotani, N. Kawai, K. Yanagisawa +25
Development of MITSuME is reported. Two 50-cm optical telescopes have been built at Akeno in Yamanashi prefecture and at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory (OAO) in Okayama prefectu…
Swift and Suzaku Observations of the X-Ray Afterglow from the GRB 060105
M. S. Tashiro, K. Abe, L. Angelini +34
Results are presented of early X-ray afterglow observations of GRB 060105 by Swift and Suzaku. The bright, long gamma-ray burst GRB 060105 triggered the Swift Burst Alert Telescope…
Discovery of a new dwarf nova, TSS J022216.4+412259.9: WZ Sge-type dwarf novae breaking the shortest superhump period record
Akira Imada, Kaori Kubota, Taichi Kato +5
We report on the time-resolved CCD photometry of a newly discovered variable star, TSS J022216.4+412259.9 during the outburst in 2005 November-December brightening. The obtained li…
The unprecedented optical outburst of the quasar 3C 454.3. The WEBT campaign of 2004-2005
M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri, T. J. Balonek
The radio quasar 3C 454.3 underwent an exceptional optical outburst lasting more than 1 year and culminating in spring 2005. The maximum brightness detected was R = 12.0, which rep…
The 2003/2004 superoutburst of SDSS J013701.06-091234.9
Akira Imada, Taichi Kato, Kaori Kubota +10
We report on time-resolved photometry of the superoutburst of an SU UMa-type dwarf nova, SDSS J013701.06-091234.9 in 2003 December-2004 January. The obtained light curves definitel…
