Detection of Superhumps during a Superoutburst in Gaia20ffw
According to the data from TRANSIENT Name Service (TNS) Gaia20ffw/AT 2020znz was discovered on 2020-11-13 01:12:00.000 byS.T. Hodgkin, E. Breedt, A. Delgado, D.L. Harrison, M. van Leeuwen, G. Rixon, T. Wevers, A. Yoldas (IoA Cambridge), N. Ihanec, K. Kruszyńska, K.A. Rybicki, Ł. Wyrzykowski (Warsaw University Astronomical Observatory), Z. Kostrzewa-Rutkowska (Leiden Observatory), D.

Our follow-up observations were provided on 08 August, 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 = 0.080(5)d. Results were published in The Astronomer's Telegram.
