The March 1995 superoutburst of the SU Ursae Majoris star AK Cancri: photometry and superhumps.

MENNICKENT R.E., NOGAMI D., KATO T. and WORRAKER W.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present differential photometry of AK Cnc obtained during its March 1995 superoutburst. Superhumps with amplitude of 0.2mag appeared within 4 days after maximum with a period of 0.06749(1)d. This result is used to estimate a likely orbital period of 0.065(2)d and a mass ratio (M2/M1) of 0.21. Photometric maxima and timings of 26 recorded outbursts imply an average cycle length of 47 days.
