[vsnet-alert 7365] V359 Cen refined superhump period (data from Peter Nelson)



V359 Cen refined superhump period (data from Peter Nelson)

Dear Colleagues,

    Peter Nelson (Victoria, Australia) reported time-series observations
on three nights (May 29, June 1 and 2).  All the light curves clearly
show superhumps.  There may be even a hint of super-QPOs (EF Peg was another
dwarf nova which showed prominent super-QPOs, see Kato (2002) PASJ 54, 87)
in the May 29 light curve.  The best determined superhump period is
0.08152(1) d based on all available observations (N=1262).  Since the
present superoutburst of V359 Cen is still reasonably "young", futher
observations to follow the evolution of superhumps are extremely needed.

Regards,
Taichi Kato
