چکیده

We report extensive photometry of the dwarf nova QW Ser throughout its 2003 February superoutburst till quiescence. During the superoutburst the star displayed clear superhumps with a mean period of Psh = 0.07703(4) days. In the quiescence we observed a double humped wave characterized by a period of P = 0.07457(2) days. As both periods obey the Stolz-Schoembs relation with a period excess equal to 3.30±0.06% the latter period is interpreted as the orbital period of the binary system.

Curious Variables Experiment (CURVE): SDSS J210014.12+004446.0 - dwarf nova with negative and positive superhumps

We report the results of 67 hours of CCD photometry of the recently discovered dwarf nova SDSS J210014.12+004446.0 (SDSS J2100). The data were obtained on 24 nights spanning a month. During this time we observed four ordinary outbursts lasting about 2-3 days and reaching an amplitude of ∼1.7 mag. On all nights our light curve revealed persistent modulation with the stable period of 0.081088(3) ...

Curious Variables Experiment (CURVE). CCD photometry of active dwarf nova DI UMa

Context. We report an analysis of photometric behaviour of DI UMa – an extremaly active dwarf nova. The observational campaign (carried on in 2007) covers five superoutbursts and four normal outbursts. Aims. We examined principal parameters of the system in order to understand peculiarities of DI UMa, and other most active cataclysmic variables. Methods. Based on precise photometric measurement...

Ceti : a closer look at its behaviour in quiescence and outburst ,

Context. WX Cet is a dwarf nova with rare outbursts of large amplitude. Aims. We compile the available data of WX Cet, compare the results with other SU UMa stars, and discuss our findings in the context of current theories of superhumps and superoutbursts to progress with our understanding of SU UMa stars. Methods. We analyse all recorded outbursts of WX Cet, based on the AAVSO archive and oth...

The Peculiar 2004 Superoutburst in the Helium Dwarf Nova , 2003 aw

We conducted a time-resolved photometric campaign of the helium dwarf nova, 2003aw in 2004 May– June. 2003aw stayed at 14.7–15.7 mag for the first several days during this campaign, which is the plateau phase of this superoutburst. This variable then rapidly decayed to ∼18.0 mag, still brighter by about 2 mag than its quiescence magnitude, and maintained this brightness for about 20 days, havin...
