[vsnet-alert 6124] WZ Sge: second run analysys

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

Dear Colleagues,
I reduced the run from last night for this star. Once again (and fortunately!) the
lightcurve is very, very interesting. I recorded three complete eclipses and five peaks
(one eclipse was missed because of a minor problem to the telescope pointing).

I clearly see 0.45 mag modulation, with peaks (the one giving 0.45mag modulation) again 82
minutes apart (same time for the eclipses).

But another modulation is, as I reported yesterday, superimposed to this main trend: it is
strong, but smaller (0.15 mag). This second signal appears to me better defined than the
previous night and I was wondering if this is connected with developing superhumps.

You can see my curve at:

Follow-up of this impressive superoutburst is urgently needed!

Regards,
Gianluca Masi
