AT 2026iul  - CV Type Transient

AT 2026iul (Cygnus)
AT 2026iul (Type: CV) discovered 2026-04-07.397 UT by GEOTS
Alias: GEOTS-PAPA-SHANKAR-2026-003
Discovery Magnitude 15.7 (Clear- Filter)
vs Prior Non-Detection Limiting Magnitude 18 (Clear- Filter)
Discovered in Cyg using 14" f/2.0 Astrograph at Golden Ears Observatory (MPC code U55). Group reports a significant brightening of the Gaia DR3 variable star 2033708559892804224 (VSX). Recent observations show an increase in magnitude of >2.3 when compared to the last recorded observation from Golden Ears Observatory on 02 March 2026.

AT 2026juw  - CV Type Transient

AT 2026juw (Cygnus)
AT 2026juw (Type: CV) discovered 2026-04-16.318 UT by GEOTS
Alias: GEOTS-Balaji-2026-005, IRAS 19523+4538
Discovery Magnitude 13.8 (Clear- Filter)
vs Prior Non-Detection Limiting Magnitude 18 (Clear- Filter)
Discovered in Cyg using 14" f/2.0 Astrograph at Golden Ears Observatory (MPC code U55).
Group reports the discovery of a variable star displaying significant variability, characterized by
periods of quiescence interspersed with episodic flaring activity. The object has increased in
brightness by approximately 1.8 magnitudes compared to its last recorded observation on
March 30, 2025. Period analysis of ZTF light curves performed with Peranso suggests
a periodicity of roughly 323 days.
