[vsnet-alert 3905] QY Per: refined superhump period

QY Per: refined superhump period

   Based on the data between Dec. 29 and 31, the best superhump period of
QY Per has been determined as 0.0789 d.  The data used for analysis are

        UT    points
   Dec. 29-30   251 Gianluca Masi
        30       65 Lew Cook
        30      840 Kyoto team
        30-31   312 Gianluca Masi
        31      207 Lew Cook

   The Kyoto Dec. 29 data have been excluded from this analysis because
they covered the initial growing stage of superhumps.  (It has become evident
the early part of the Kyoto Dec. 29 data reflects the rapid decline stage
from the superoutburst peak).

   The value will be updated when the ongoing analysis of the early part
of Dec. 30 (Masi) and Dec. 31 (Kyoto) becomes available.

   Good luck to all!
