We report time-resolved CCD photometry of the cataclysmic variable EG Aquarii during the 2006 November outburst During the outburst, superhumps were unambiguously detected with a mean period of 0.078828(6) days, firstly classifying the…

From the analysis of superhump eclipses of Z Cha it is found that the location of the superhump light source coincides with the overflowing parts of the stream. This implies that superhumps are due to modulated mass transfer rate resulting…

We report on multicolour photometry of the short period dwarf nova CSS130418:174033+414756 during the 2013 superoutburst. The system showed an unusually short superhump period with 0.046346(67) d during stage A, which is one of the shortest…

We have studied the short-cadence Kepler public light curves of SU UMa stars, V344 Lyr and V1504 Cyg extending over a period of more than two years by using power spectral analysis. We determined the orbital period of V344 Lyr to be…

We report on the detection of very stable modulations with periods unexpectedly (~0.5%) longer than superhump periods during the slowly fading stage of WZ Sge-type superoutbursts in three systems, GW Lib, V455 And and WZ Sge. These periods…

We report on multicolor photometry of WZ Sge-type dwarf novae, HV Vir and OT J012059.6+325545 during superoutbursts. These systems show early superhumps with the mean periods of 0.057093(45) d for HV Vir and 0.057147(15) d for OT…

We observed an anomalously outbursting state of SU UMa which occurred in 1992. Time-resolved photometry revealed the presence of signals with a period of 0.0832 +/- 0.0019 d, which is 3.6 sigma longer than the orbital period (0.07635 d) of…

We report optical photometric observations of four superoutbursts of the short-period dwarf nova TV Crv. This object experiences two types of superoutbursts; one with a precursor and the other without. The superhump period and period excess…

We carried out optical spectroscopic observations of the most enigmatic dwarf nova WZ Sge in 11 nights during the 2001 superoutburst. Our observations covered the period from the initial phase, several hours before the maximum, to the ninth…

We report results of an extensive world-wide observing campaign devoted to a very active dwarf nova star - IX Draconis. We investigated photometric behaviour of the system to derive its basic outburst properties and understand peculiarities…

Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, arXiv:0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 102 SU UMa-type dwarf novae observed mainly during the 2014-2015 season and characterized these objects. Our project has…

We describe the evolutionary progression of an outburst of the Rapid Burster. Four outbursts have been observed with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer between February 1996 and May 1998, and our observations are consistent with a standard…

We present the TESS observations of CRTS J110014.7+131552, SDSS J093537.46+161950.8, and [PK2008] HalphaJ130559. Among them, a superoutburst is observed in CRTS J110014.7+131552 which is associated with the precursor outburst, where…

In this paper, we present the first light curve synthesis and orbital period change analysis of nine contact binaries around the short period limit. It is found that all these systems are W-subtype contact binaries. One of them is a medium…

Although its well determined mass ratio of $q=\Msec/\Mwd=0.357\pm0.007$ should avoid superoutbursts according to the thermal tidal instability model, the prototypical dwarf nova U Gem experienced in 1985 an extraordinary long outburst…

We describe the evolution of optical and X-ray temporal characteristics during the outburst decline of the black hole X-ray binary SWIFT J1753.5-0127. The optical/X-ray cross-correlation function demonstrates a single positive correlation…

Gamma-ray burst light curves show quite different patterns: from very simple to extremely complex. We present a temporal and spectral study of the light curves in three energy bands (2-5, 5-10, 10-26 keV) of ten GRBs detected by the Wide…

We present the most extended and homogeneous study carried out so far of the main and early shocks in 1485 RR~Lyrae stars in the Galactic bulge observed by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE). We selected non-modulated…

We include the tidal instability due to the 3:1 resonance in the disc instability model developed by Hameury et al. (1998) and modified by Buat-Menard et al. (2001). We confirm earlier results by Osaki (1989) that the tidal instability can…

I analyzed the Kepler long and short cadence data of V363 Lyr. A period of 0.185723(8) d was persistently detected and this is identified as the orbital period. V363 Lyr showed one long outburst accompanied by an "(embedded) precursor"…
