KS UMa likely superoutburst As reported by Eddy Muyllaert and Gary Poyner, the SU UMa-type dwarf nova KS UMa is undergoing a likely superoutburst. The superhump period is 0.06955 d. Because of the excellent visibility in this season, and because of the lack of the entire coverage of a superoutburst in the past, we would encourage further time-series observations during the current outburst. With this outburst, we hope we will be able to get a complete picture of superhump evolution, late stage phenomenon, and on the existence of a rebrightening. If you have already set up for BC UMa, the same observing technique applies. Watch for a rebrightening of BC UMa and observe superhumps in KS UMa!
