Swift X-ray detection of PNV J06270375+3952504, a candidate WZ Sge-type dwarf nova
Abstract
A flaring object in Auriga (06:27:03.78 +39:52:48.7, J2000) was discovered by S. Kaneko on 2013 March 3.44 UT and later confirmed by D. Denisenko, E. Gorbovskoy, V. Lipunov, A. Mantero, E. Guido, A. Ruocco, N. Howes. Further observations by R. Koff and A. Oksanen indicated the presence of early superhumps that together with the outburst amplitude of about eight magnitudes suggest a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova outburst.
