Dear colleagues,
Six days of continued intensive coverage of RZ Leo by various CBA stations,
has allowed to further secure the superhump period of this system, yielding
a value of 0.07862 +- 0.00012 d. Compared with Porb = 0.07604 +- 0.00012 d,
this gives a fractional period excess of 3.4 +- 0.2 %. This is something of
a surprise, as most of the infrequently erupting SU UMa CVs have much
smaller period excesses, signifying a light secondary. We'll continue our
dense coverage of the system.
For the CBA gang,
Tonny Vanmunster
