IW And stars are a recently recognized subgroup of dwarf novae which are characterized by (often repetitive) slowly rising standstills terminated by brightening, but the exact mechanism for this variation is not yet identified. We have…
We photometrically observed four southern dwarf novae in outburst (NSV 10934, MM Sco, AB Nor and CAL 86). NSV 10934 was confirmed to be an SU UMa-type dwarf nova with a mean superhump period of 0.07478(1) d. This star also showed transient…
We report time-resolved photometric observations of the Hamburg Quasar Survey-selected dwarf nova HS 1449+6415 (= RX J1450.5+6403) during the interval from JD 2451672 to 2451724. During a long outburst with a duration of ~12 days, we…
BO Cet is renowned cataclysmic variable having an orbital period above the period gap (0.139835 d) and showing both features of a Z Cam/IW And star and an SU UMa star. Using the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) forced…
Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, arXiv:0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 127 SU UMa-type dwarf novae observed mainly during the 2016--2017 season and characterized these objects. We provide updated…
We report spectroscopy of the newly discovered SU Ursae Majoris dwarf nova identified with the x-ray source RXS J053234.9+624755. Radial velocities of the H-alpha emission line in the quiescent state give an orbital period of 0.05620(4) d…
We analyzed All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN), Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observations of CM Mic and found that this object belongs to a small group…
We carried out a search for unknown dwarf novae in a public data release of the Zwicky Transient Facility survey and suspected that the object ZTF18abdlzhd is a SU UMa-type star. Performed multicolor CCD observations permit us to follow its…
The behavior of the average annual luminosity of K-M dwarfs OU Gem, EQ Vir, V1005 Ori and AU Mic was studied at time intervals of several decades. The main sources of photometric data for 1989-2019 were the Hipparcos, ASAS, KWS databases.…
We revealed that the dwarf nova 1RXS J232953.9+062814 is an SU UMa-type system with a superhump period of 66.774+/-0.010 min. The short period strongly indicates that the orbital period of this object is below the period minimum of…
The first detailed photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the G-type eclipsing binary KM UMa is presented, which indicates that the system is a short-period detached eclipsing binary. The radial velocity curves were calculated using the…
We examined the VSNET light curve of the ER UMa-type star V1159 Ori. We detected a large variation of the supercycle (the interval between successive superoutbursts) between extremes of 44.6 and 53.3 d. The outburst activity was also found…
We report extensive photometry of the frequently outbursting dwarf nova RZ Leo Minoris. During two seasons of observations we detected 12 superoutbursts and 7 normal outbursts. The V magnitude of the star varied in range from 16.5 to 13.9…
We report on time-resolved photometry of the 2005 July superoutburst of the dwarf nova, 2QZ J021927.9-304545. The resultant light curves showed conspicuous superhumps with a period of 0.081113(19) days, confirming the SU UMa nature of the…
A new mechanism explaining superoutbursts in binaries of SU UMa type is proposed. In the framework of this mechanism the accretion rate increase leading to the superoutburst is associated with formation of a spiral wave of a new…
SDSS J183131.63+420220.2 is an AM CVn-type cataclysmic variable. Using Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) and Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data, I found that this object is actually a helium dwarf nova, which…
Features of the development of activity cycles in the solar-type stars and fast-rotating cool dwarfs have been considered for 65 stars observed in some decades. Cycles with duration of 7-18 years compared to the solar cycle were found for…
We present time-resolved CCD photometry of a dwarf nova NSV 4838 (UMa 8, SDSS J102320.27+440509.8) during the 2005 June and 2007 February outburst. Both light curves showed superhumps with a mean period of 0.0699(1) days for the 2005…
Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, PASJ, 61, S395, arXiv:0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 56 SU UMa-type dwarf novae mainly observed during the 2013-2014 season and characterized these objects. We…
We studied the background dwarf nova of KIC 11412044 in the Kepler public data and identified it with GALEX J194419.33+491257.0. This object turned out to be a very active SU UMa-type dwarf nova having a mean supercycle of about 150 d and…
