HS1016+3412


This is a short-period dwarf nova, so quite likely a SU UMa system, even though no superoutburst has been detected so far. It seems to outburst only rarely, Patrick Schmeer found it once at an unfiltered CCD magnitude of 15.4. During quiescence, it seems to vary by about about a magnitude, between 17.5 and 18.7. Regular monitoring would be necessary to determine the outburst frequency, and hopefully do detect a superoutburst.
