We have observed YZ Cnc at two day intervals from 6 to 24 April 1998, covering two full outburst cycles. The 0.1-2.4 keV flux is lower during optical outburst than in quiescence, and lowest at the end of the outburst. The decline of the…

We report on the analysis of the Kepler short-cadence (SC) light curve of V344 Lyr obtained during 2009 June 20 through 2010 Mar 19 (Q2--Q4). The system is an SU UMa star showing dwarf nova outbursts and superoutbursts, and promises to be a…

In Kato et al. (2019, arXiv:1909.00910), I reported on a double outburst and rebrightenings in 2018 in V544 Her. Such a phenomenon is usually observed in WZ Sge stars which evolved after the period bounce and the colors of V544 Her in…

The 2000 outburst of V445 Puppis shows unique properties, such as absence of hydrogen, enrichment of helium and carbon, slow development of the light curve with a small amplitude that does not resemble any classical novae. This object has…

During 2006 November an outburst of the dwarf nova AW Sge was observed using CCD photometry. This revealed 0.25 magnitude superhumps confirming it to be a superoutburst, possibly only the second confirmed such outburst of this star. The…

We study the evolution of the normalized flux of selected ultraviolet emission lines of three classical novae (PW Vul, V1668 Cyg and V1974 Cyg). Different phases ofthe outbursts are studied. We attribute the spectral behavior of the three…

We report serendipitous discovery of three new dwarf novae which eruptions in 2010 were observed by the ongoing microlensing survey OGLE-IV. All three objects are located in the Galactic bulge fields observed with the highest cadence of 20…

The recent discovery of a galaxy at z=7.3 with undetected optical emission lines and a blue UV to optical continuum ratio in JWST spectroscopy is surprising and needs to be explained physically. Here, we explore two possibilities that could…

Several SU UMa-type dwarf novae, in particular, WZ Sge-type stars tend to exhibit rebrightenings after superoutbursts. The rebrightening phenomenon is problematic for the disk instability theory of dwarf novae since it requires a large…

Dwarf nova (DN) superoutbursts are accompanied by superhumps, which change their periods and profiles over a superoutburst. We present the TESS and ground-based observations of nine WZ Sge-type DNe and candidates in superoutburst. In TCP…

We report on the results of the QW Ser campaign which has been continued from 2000 to 2003 by the VSNET collaboration team. Four long outbursts and many short ones were caught during this period. Our intensive photometric observations…

We present photometric observations of the dwarf nova 1RXS J053234.9+624755. We performed a detailed analysis of the superoutburst that occurred in August 2009. We found the superhump period to be P_sh=0.057122(14)days. Based on the O-C…

We photometrically observed the 2003 June superoutburst of GO Gom. The mean superhump period was 0.063059(13) d. The resultant data revealed that (1) the obtained light curve contained a precursor, (2) a plateau stage of the object lasted 8…

YSOs can display unpredictable and high-amplitude rises in brightness that can last from a few months to possibly over 100 years. These types of outbursts are explained by large changes in the mass accretion rate from the disk onto the…

We identify a new class of novae characterized by the post-eruption quiescent light curve being more than roughly a factor of ten brighter than the pre-eruption light curve. Eight novae (V723 Cas, V1500 Cyg, V1974 Cyg, GQ Mus, CP Pup, T…

Superhumps are among the abundant variable phenomena observed in the light curves of cataclysmic variables (CVs). They come in two flavours as positive and negative superhumps, distinguished by periods slightly longer or shorter,…

The variable star V1129 Cen is classified in the GCVS as being of $\beta$ Lyr type. Unusual for such stars, it exhibits outbursts roughly once a year, lasting for $\sim$40 days. For this reason, a relationship to the dwarf novae has been…

RU Peg is a dwarf nova (DN) of the U Gem type. Our analysis of its long-term optical activity uses the data from the AAVSO database. It concentrates on investigating the properties of the individual outbursts and the time evolution of the…

We present the results of a four-year photometric study of the high-amplitude $\delta$ Scuti star (HADS) UY Camelopardalis. Analyses on the available data from 1985 to 2003 show that UY Cam is monoperiodic. Fourier solutions for individual…

The semiregular variable Z UMa experienced a particularly deep minimum at the end of March 2014 followed by a three month rise to maximum. The rise and subsequent decline were followed with low resolution (R~1000) spectroscopy, possibly for…
