[vsnet-alert 6192] WZ Sge: true superhumps there?

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

Dear Colleagues,
for what is worth, I would like to point your attention to a quite interesting result.

As I said, my latest photometry (a 6.5 hours long) gives, if considered alone, a period
candidate of 0.057299d. Compared with the shorter, orbital period (0.05669d), I have a
difference of about 1 percent, not so different from what reported by Patterson et al.
during the 1978 outburst (0.8 percent). Just a coincidence? Time will says us!

Regards,
Gianluca
