[vsnet-alert 6302] WZ Sge: triple-humps!

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

Dear Colleagues,
desiote of the passing clouds, I managed to get 3 hours of very beautiful data. The light
curve is amazing: eclipses are deep and the star enters eclipses arriving from its higher
peak. Just after the beginning of recovery, the star experiences a secondary hump, of
about 0.07 mag., with another minor fading, followed by another hump, another fading and,
finally, it reaches the maximum. So, within the phases 0 -> 1, there are three ascending
maxima, starting from the eclipse and ending with the higher one, going directly into the
eclipse.

As I have some other urgent observations under way, I will report my curve and my data
with some delay.

Regards,
Gianluca
