DH Aql: August superoutburst
R. Stubbings reported that the SU UMa-type dwarf nova DH Aql was
entered a bright outburst (12.6mag) on July 31. The last superoutburst
was observed in 1999 April (mv=12.4, A. Pearce).
The superhump period of this object had not been well established
(vsnet-campaign 404).
From the light curve obtained
through August 3 observation at Ouda station by H. Iwamatsu and T. Kato,
they revealed that there were fully grown superhumps with the amplitude
of 0.30mag
(vsnet-campaign-dn 81,
92).
They calculated the superhump period to be 0.07991 d
with the data on August 3, 4, and 5
(vsnet-campaign-dn 99).
The Ouda observing team reported on August 9 that the object is
slightly fainter than on the previous night. This suggested that the
superoutburst was close to the termination
(vsnet-campaign-dn 101,
102).
The data on August 9 by N. Butterworth can be seen in
[vsnet-campaign-data 35].
