[vsnet-campaign 83] RX J1450.5+6403 superhumps and QPOs

RX J1450.5+6403 superhumps and QPOs

Dear Colleagues,

   The excellent data obtained by Rudolf Novak (vsnet-alert 4847)
has generally confirmed the finding reported by Tonny Vanumunster
(vsnet-alert 4852).  In addition to superhumps, there are significant
QPOs (quasi-periodic oscillations) superimposed on the (mainly) fading
branch of superhumps.  This is a signature of superoutburst QPOs (sometimes
super-QPOs).  Excellent work, Rudolf!

   There is yet no indication of other periodic modulations (intermediate
polar-type, which might explain some of quiescent X-ray strength).

Regards,
