Unusual Phase Reversal of Superhumps in ER Ursae Majoris
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied the evolution of superhumps in the peculiar SU UMa-type dwarf nova, ER UMa. Contrary to the canonical picture of the SU UMa-type superhump phenomena, the superhumps of ER UMa show an unexpected phase reversal during the very early stage (∼5 d after the superoutburst maximum). We interpret that a sudden switch to so-called late superhumps occurs during the very early stage of a superoutburst. What had been believed to be (ordinary) superhumps during the superoutburst plateau of ER UMa were actually late superhumps. The implication of this discovery is briefly discussed.

Superhumps Behavior during Normal Outbursts in ER UMa: Spectroscopy and Photometry
We have taken a 4-day spectroscopic observation and have been conducting a 13-day photometric study of the SU UMa-type dwarf nova, ER Ursae Majoris. The mean K-amplitude for the emission lines is 54± 8 km s and γ velocity is 8±4 km s from our spectroscopic results. A phase shift of 0.22 is also obtained. Our photometric observation confirms superhumps in normal outbursts of ER UMa and reconcile...
متن کاملPhotometry and Spectroscopy of KS Ursae Majoris during Superoutburst
We report photometric and spectroscopic observations of the SU UMa-type dwarf novae, KS Ursae Majoris, during its 2003 February superoutburst. Modulations with a period of 0.07017 ± 0.00021 day, which is 3.3% larger than the orbital period, have been found during the superoutburst and may be positive superhumps. A maximum trough-to-peak amplitude of around 0.3 magnitude is determined for this s...
متن کاملSuperhumps in a Peculiar SU UMa-Type Dwarf Nova ER Ursae Majoris
We report the photometry of a peculiar SU UMa-type dwarf nova — ER UMa for ten nights during 1998 December and 1999 March covering a complete rise to the supermaximum and a normal outburst cycle. Superhumps have been found during the rise to the superoutburst. A negative superhump appeared in Dec.22 light curve, while the superhump on the next night became positive and had large amplitude and d...
متن کاملPermanent Superhumps in Nova V 1974 Cygni 1992
We present results of 32 nights of CCD photometry of V1974 Cygni, from the years 1994 and 1995. We verify the presence of two distinct periodicities in the light curve: 0.0812585 day ≈ 1.95 hours and 0.0849767 d ≈ 2.04 hr. We establish that the shorter periodicity is the orbital period of the underlying binary system. The longer period oscillates with an average value of | ˙ P | ∼ 3 × 10 −7 —ty...

Context. We report an analysis of photometric behaviour of DI UMa, an extremely active dwarf nova. The observational campaign (completed in 2007) covers five superoutbursts and four normal outbursts. Aims. We examined principal parameters of the system to understand peculiarities of DI UMa, and other active cataclysmic variables. Methods. Based on precise photometric measurements, temporal ligh...
