[vsnet-alert 5114] AW Sge Superoutburst

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

Dear Colleagues,
as previously reported on the vsnet-alert, I discovered superhumps in AW Sge, so this star
is really a new SU UMa CV. Now, it is time to fix the superhump period and the
superoutburst is during from several days, so, I guess, there is no plenty of days. In
Italy the weather is really bad and I fear I will be unable to get a second night.

So I ask the observers to get photometric runs on this target, in order to collect enough
data to write a paper. A very preliminary estimate of the superhump period is around
0.07d.

Regards,
Gianluca
