[vsnet-alert 4122] RX J0459.7+1926

[Gianluca Masi <gianmasi@fr.flashnet.it>]

Dear Colleagues,
We've just finished a 3.3 hours CCD run on this target, using a SBIG ST-7, unfiltered
camera
and a 28cm, f/3.3 telescope (CBA Italy).

A VERY preliminary analysis shows the following features:

- clear superhumps, with an amplitude of about 0.4, 0.5 magnitudes;
- a superhump period of about 0.07 days (this is a rough estimate, done with our own
eyes).

We will post a light curve on the Bellatrix Observatory's website as soon as possible.


So, this star is a new member of the SU UMa class.



Regards,
Gianluca and Alessia

CBA Italy
