A probable inside-out dwarf nova outburst from the period bouncer candidate ASASSN-25dc

Yusuke Tampo, Naoto Kojiguchi, Mariko Kimura +13

We report optical time-resolved photometric observations of a newly-discovered outbursting system, ASASSN-25dc. Its 8-mag amplitude, 40-day duration, 1-mag dip in the outburst plat…

ASASSN-24hd; a dwarf nova bridging WZ Sge-type and SU UMa-type superoutbursts

Yusuke Tampo, Naoto Kojiguchi, Taichi Kato +9

WZ Sge-type dwarf novae (DNe) form a subclass in cataclysmic variables, characterized by short-period variations called superhumps during an outburst. Here we present optical groun…

Spectral evolution of the narrow emission line components in optical during the 2022 nova eruption of U Scorpii

Katsuki Muraoka, Naoto Kojiguchi, Junpei Ito +20

There remains debate over whether the accretion disk survives or is entirely disrupted after the nova eruption. In our previous paper, Muraoka et al. (2024, PASJ, 76, 293) have pho…

Smart Kanata: A Framework for Autonomous Decision Making in Rapid Follow-up Observations of Cataclysmic Variables

Makoto Uemura, Yuzuki Koga, Ryosuke Sazaki +11

Studying the early stages of transient events provides crucial information about the fundamental physical processes in cataclysmic variables (CVs). However, determining an appropri…

MASTER OT J030227.28+191754.5: an unprecedentedly energetic dwarf nova outburst

Yusuke Tampo, Taichi Kato, Keisuke Isogai +60

We present a detailed study of the MASTER OT J030227.28+191754.5 outburst in 2021-2022, reaching an amplitude of 10.2 mag and a duration of 60 d. The detections of (1) the double-p…

Optical and soft X-ray light-curve analysis during the 2022 eruption of U Scorpii: structural changes in the accretion disk

Katsuki Muraoka, Naoto Kojiguchi, Junpei Ito +52

We present our optical photometric observations of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco) using 49,152 data points over 70 d following the optical peak. We have…

Reconstruction of the Structure of Accretion Disks in Dwarf Novae from the Multi-Band Light Curves of Early Superhumps

M. Uemura, T. Kato, T. Ohshima +1

We propose a new method to reconstruct the structure of accretion disks in dwarf novae using multi-band light curves of early superhumps. Our model assumes that early superhumps ar…

Discovery of a WZ Sge-Type Dwarf Nova, SDSS J102146.44+234926.3: Unprecedented Infrared Activity during a Rebrightening Phase

M. Uemura, A. Arai, T. Krajci +26

Several SU UMa-type dwarf novae, in particular, WZ Sge-type stars tend to exhibit rebrightenings after superoutbursts. The rebrightening phenomenon is problematic for the disk inst…

1993 Superoutburst of LL Andromedae

T. Kato

We present time-resolved CCD photometry of LL And during its 1993 outburst. The observation revealed the presence of superhumps with a period of 0.05697(3) d. This period is one of…

The Nature of V359 Centauri Revealed: New Long-Period SU UMa-Type Dwarf Nova

T. Kato, R. Stubbings, P. Nelson +12

We detected four outbursts of V359 Cen (possible nova discovered in 1939) between 1999 and 2002. Time-resolved CCD photometry during two outbursts (1999 and 2002) revealed that V35…

Observations of the Magnetic Cataclysmic Variable VV Puppis with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer

D. W. Hoard, P. Szkody, R. Ishioka +5

We present the first far-ultraviolet (FUV) observations of the magnetic cataclysmic variable VV Puppis, obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer satellite. In addit…

Recurrent Nova IM Normae

T. Kato, H. Yamaoka, W. Liller +1

We detected the second historical outburst of the 1920 nova IM Nor. Accurate astrometry of the outbursting object revealed the true quiescent counterpart having a magnitude of R=17…
