AL Com early superhumps are evolving!
Dear Colleagues,
A quick look at the partially analyzed data of May 19 (vsnet-alert 5897)
shows that there is a clear signature of evolving early superhumps.
The outburst is thus very likely a superoutburst of a WZ Sge-type
dwarf nova caught at the earliest stage (probably the earliest ever
observed). The amplitude of variation is still small. At the same time,
the object is slowly fading. We will report later as the analysis
becomes more complete.
Looking forward to hearing your successful observations!
Regards,
