V344 Lyr: an unusual large-amplitude SU UMa-type dwarf nova with a short supercycle
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied the large-amplitude SU UMa-type dwarf nova V344 Lyr. A combination of our observations and reports to VSNET has yielded an extensive coverage of outbursts between 1994 July and 2001 June. The analysis of this data showed a mean supercycle length of 109.6 d. This value is one of the smallest among known SU UMa-type dwarf novae (except unusual ER UMa-type dwarf novae). The outburst amplitude of V344 Lyr (∼5.5 mag) is found to be much larger than those (3.5±0.3 mag) of SU UMa-type dwarf novae with similar supercycle lengths. Such a deviation of the amplitude in V344 Lyr is difficult to explain by the inclination effect. The extreme outburst parameters of V344 Lyr would require an additional mechanism to effectively reduce the quiescent luminosity or to increase the outburst frequency.

Photometric study of new southern SU UMa-type dwarf novae – II: Authentication of BF Ara as a Normal SU UMa-type Dwarf Nova with the Shortest Supercycle
We photometrically observed the 2002 August long outburst of BF Ara. The observation for the first time unambiguously detected superhumps (average period 0.08797(1) d), qualifying BF Ara as a genuine SU UMa-type dwarf nova. An analysis of the longterm visual light curve yielded a mean supercycle length of 84.3(3) d. The characteristics of outbursts and superhumps more resemble those of usual SU...

We examined the VSNET light curve of the unusual SU UMa-type dwarf nova V503 Cyg which is known to show a short (89 d) supercycle length and exceptionally small (a few) normal outbursts within a supercycle. In 1999–2000, V503 Cyg displayed frequent normal outbursts with typical recurrence times of 7–9 d. The behavior during this period is characteristic to an usual SU UMa-type dwarf nova with a...

Sonification is the conversion of quantitative data into sound. In this work we explain the methods used in the sonification of light curves provided by the Kepler instrument from Q2 through Q6 for the cataclysmic variable systems V344 Lyr and V1504 Cyg . Both systems are SU UMa stars showing dwarf nova outbursts and superoutbursts as well as positive and negative superhumps. Focused sonificati...

We studied a 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 that has a mean supercycle of ∼150 d and frequent normal outbursts with intervals of 4–10 d. The object showed a strong persistent signal of the orbital variation with a period of 0.0528164(4) d (76.06 mi...
متن کاملPhotometric Observation and Numerical Simulation of Early Superhumps in BC UMa during the 2003 Superoutburst
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 period of early superhumps is 0.06258(13) d and the amplitude is 0.04 mag. After the early superhump phase, common superhumps with an amplitude of 0.3 mag and ...
