Possible nova or large-amplitude dwarf nova in Aquila: PNV J19150199+0719471

Sat, 06/01/2013 - 12:27

Hi everyone,

I'm posting this in the nova forum for follow-ups.  A new bright transient was discovered in Aquila by K. Itagaki on May 30, and posted to CBET's Transient Objects Confirmation Page.  I haven't seen spectral confirmation yet, however Taichi Kato noted on VSNET that based on photometric colors and a large proper motion this may be a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.

Position as measured by Enrique de Miguel is (J2000): 19:15:02.047 , +07:19:46.78

Spectroscopic followups are encouraged, as are time-series observations in case superhumps appear.

UGWZ or nova?

Looking at the BRVI photometry of S. Kyota I was also thinking that this PNV might be an UGWZ dwarf nova...

Btw the star was discovered by Itagaki on May 31, although it was visible on prediscovery images of T. Kojima made on May 30.
