Latest reports on VSNet suggest that RY Sgr is fading rapidly. Latest obs by Jose Ripero on Sep 26.895 place it at mag 9.7
I see the dilemma, Max (also shows rage pitfalls CV observers can get into with less than ideal data). If you can confidently and consistently compensate that would be the way to go (sorry!). In any case, it would be important to identify those eclipses where there is some kind of uncertainty in assignment of type.
Interesting to see JWST papers already appearing: https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.01630
This one on flattened disc, reddened galaxies.
No doubt a trickle will soon become a torrent
They may even be a fraction deeper that’s the last pair, Max. Asymmetric, as before, as you noted, perhaps steeper entry…
Would need to think about that Max 🙂
It’s great fun having these speculations. We’d probably not be in the position to do so with your intense and precise data.Superhumps are characteristic of a DN superoutburst. There are indeed caused by the AD becoming elliptical. So there would need to be a series of humps, the period of which would be slightly longer than Porb. Have you measured the “hump period” to check that it is consistent with the eclipse period?
