[Aavso-photometry] RE: DV Dra - new UGSU type dwarf nova - earlysuperhumps detected

[Tonny Vanmunster]

All,

I have just published my DV Dra light curve and period analysis graphs on my
website http://www.peranso.com.

Enjoy !

Best regards,
Tonny

PS : congrats to Patrick Schmeer and Tim Parson on their interesting
detection !

earlysuperhumps detected

Dear colleagues,

Following Patrick Schmeer's detection of a very rare outburst of DV Dra
(announced through cvnet-outburst on Nov 22nd, I started an unfiltered CCD
photometry session on this target at 18h20m UT (Nov 22, 2005), using a
0.35-m f/6.3 telescope and ST-7XME CCD. 

The session currently is still ongoing, but early superhumps (double-peaked)
are already clearly visible in the resulting light curve. A quick period
analysis using Peranso yields a superhump period of 0.061 +/- 0.002 d. DV
Dra therefore is now firmly established as an UGSU-type dwarf nova, and
almost certainly belongs to the class of UGWZ objects.

The object is around mag 15.5 unfiltered. The amplitude of the superhumps is
0.2 mag.

More details and full graphs of my session will shortly appear on my website
http://www.cbabelgium.com

Kind regards,
Tonny
