WZ Sge: superhump period update
Dear Colleagues,
We have receieved new data from the RIT observatory team (M. Richmond,
S. Davis, T. Davis), D. Starkey and partly analyzed the Kyoto Aug. 8 run.
The general fading has almost stopped.
We have updated the superhump period as 0.057231(30) d, by a least-squares
fitting, rather than the PDM analysis. As the baseline becomes longer,
the analysis tends to give a longer period than the 'canonical' period
obtained during the 1978 superoutburst. The profile of superhumps strongly
vary with time. Further observations are strongly encouraged!
Regards,
Taichi Kato
