Abstract

Description

We present CCD R photometry of SW Ursae Majoris - an SUUMa type cataclysmic variable - obtained during its April 1996 superoutburst. The mean value of the superhump period derived from our observations is 0.05818(+/-2) days (83.8 min). The analysis of times of superhump maxima gives clear evidence for the increase of the superhump period with dPsh/dt=0.000089.
