[vsnet-alert 7798] V699 Oph: secure superoutburst of a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova!



V699 Oph: secure superoutburst of a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova!

Dear Colleagues,

   Tom Krajci's most recent observation has confirmed the rebrightening
reported by Rod Stubbings.  The light curve now clearly displays 0.25-mag
superhumps!  This finally confirmed the long-suspected SU UMa-type nature
of this dwarf nova!!

   Owing to the limited coverage, we can't tell the exact superhump period,
but the profile suggests that the period seems to be shorter than 2 hr.
Further observations are most strongly encouraged!!  This star is apparently
the best target of opportunity!!

Regards,
Taichi Kato
