We have observed 8 faint cataclysmic variable stars photometrically. The nova-like Car2 was extensively sampled but showed little variability. V1040 Cen was observed near the end of a dwarf nova outburst and possessed dwarf nova and…

Nova-like variables are high-accretion-rate cataclysmic variables (CVs) that, in contrast to dwarf novae, do not undergo outbursts caused by thermal-viscous instability. However, a small group of nova-likes, classified as AH Pic-type stars,…

We present infrared JHK photometry of the cataclysmic variable SDSS J123813.73-033933.0 (SDSS1238)and analyze it along with optical spectroscopy, demonstrating that the binary system is most probably comprised of a massive white dwarf with…

We carried out time-resolved photometric observations of an SU UMa type dwarf nova, BC UMa, during its superoutburst in February 2003. We detect early superhumps (or outburst orbital humps) during the first two days of the outburst. The…

In the first days of WZ Sge-type dwarf nova (DN) outbursts, the 2:1 resonance induces a spiral arm structure in the accretion disk, which is observed as early superhumps in optical light curves. This paper reports our optical observations…

We have carried out detailed time-resolved timing analyses of three cataclysmic variables (CVs) namely LS Cam, V902 Mon, and SWIFT J0746.3-1608, using the long-baseline, high-cadence optical photometric data from the Transiting Exoplanet…

We present the results of a two and a half year optical photometric monitoring programme covering 16 AM CVn binaries using the Liverpool Telescope on La Palma. We detected outbursts in seven systems, one of which (SDSS J0129) was seen in…

Aims: We present a photometric study of the deeply eclipsing SW Sex-type nova-like cataclysmic variable star BH Lyn Methods: Time-resolved V-band CCD photometry was obtained for seven nights between 1999 and 2004. Results: We determined 11…

We present optical and near-infrared observations of the fast-declining Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2022an. The photometric and spectroscopic properties identify it as a standard 91bg-like event; however, our data reveal a relatively narrow…

We found that SDSS J094002.56+274942.0 underwent a superoutburst in 2019 February based on our observations and Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data. This object showed shallow eclipses during this superoutburst and we established the…

We observed the 2012-2013 superoutburst of the newly identified transient SSS J122221.7-311523 and found that this object showed successive two superoutbursts. Superhumps grew in amplitude during the second superoutburst and showed a…

We report on time-resolved photometry during a 2012 January normaloutburst of SU UMa. The light curve shows hump-like modulations with a period of 0.07903(11) d, which coincides with the known superhump period of SU UMa during…

We present photometry of 11 and spectroscopy of 35 potential cataclysmic variables from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey and vsnet-alerts. The photometry results include quasi-periodic oscillations…

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 definitely show superhumps with a period of 0.056686 (12) d, which is…

We present the nine-year light curve of the cataclysmic variable 1RXS J140429.5+172352 from 2005 April to 2014 July. We identified four dwarf nova-like outbursts, which typically lasted 3 to 5 days, with an amplitude of 3.1 to 5.3…

We report the discovery of a new dwarf nova and our observations of its first confirmed superoutburst during 2009 October. The outburst amplitude was 6 magnitudes. The main outburst lasted 17 days and was followed 4 days later by a…

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…

We present a sequence of eight spectropolarimetric observations monitoring the geometric evolution of the late phase of the major 2012 outburst of SN 2009ip. These were acquired with the FORS2 polarimeter mounted on ESO VLT. The continuum…

We present results obtained from extensive near-infrared spectroscopic and photometric observations of nova V574 Pup during its 2004 outburst. The observations were obtained over four months, starting from 2004 November 25 (four days after…

We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of two Cataclysmic Variables (CVs), namely RBS 0490 and SDSS J075939.79+191417.3. The optical variations of RBS 0490 have been found to occur at the period of 1.689$\pm$0.001 hr…
