Detection of superhumps confirms Gaia20eud as an SU UMa-type dwarf nova
According to the data from TRANSIENT Name Service (TNS) Gaia20eud/AT 2020wjy was discovered on 2020-10-12 02:42:43.200 by S.T. Hodgkin, E. Breedt, A. Delgado, D.L. Harrison, M. van Leeuwen, G.

Our follow-up observations were provided on 31 July, 2026 with C14 f/7 telescope at Franz-Josef Hambsch's Remote Observatory Atacama Desert (ROAD) in Chile. On the reulted lightcurve we can clearly detected superhumps. Period detection gives us a result of Psh = 0.0825(7)d. Results were published in The Astronomer's Telegram.
