KV And
As detected by M. Simonsen on November 5, the SU UMa-type dwarf nova, KV
And experienced an outburst of 14.3mag. The last reported outburst was
in 2001 August (vsnet-campaign-dn
2977). The Kyoto team detected fully grown superhumps of 0.4mag on
November 5, which implies this outburst was a superoutburst (vsnet-campaign-dn
2978). The object has shown a characteristic linear fading since November
6. The November 5 data did not fit this trend, indicating that the system
was still in its early development stage. Superhumps appeared on all observed
nights. There was a hint of secondary superhumps on November 8 (vsnet-campaign-dn
3005, 2995,
3011,
3028).
The object entered a rapid fading phase on November 16 (vsnet-campaign-dn
3002, 3015,
3035).
