A CCD photometry of the dwarf nova MASTER OT J172758.09 +380021.5 was carried out in 2019 during 134 nights. Observations covered three superoutbursts, five normal outbursts and quiescence between them. The available ASASSN and ZTF data for 2014-2020 were also examined. Spectral observations were done in 2020 when the object was in quiescence. Spectra and photometry revealed that the star is an H-rich active ER UMa-type dwarf nova with a highly variable supercycle of ~50-100 d that implies a high and variable mass-transfer rate. This object demonstrated peculiar behaviour: short-lasted superoutbursts (a week); a slow superoutburst decline and cases of rebrightenings; low frequency (from none to a few) of the normal outbursts during the supercycle. In 2019 a mean period of positive superhumps was found to be 0.05829 d during the superoutbursts. Late superhumps with a mean period of 0.057915 d which lasted about ~20 d after the end of superoutburst and were replaced by an orbital period of 0.057026 d or its orbital-negative superhump beat period were detected. An absence of eclipse in the orbital light curve and its moderate amplitude are consistent with the orbital inclination of about 40 degr found from spectroscopy. The blue peaks of the V-Ic and B-Rc of superhumps during the superoutburst coincided with minima of the light curves, while B-Rc of the late superhumps coincided with a rising branch of the light curves. We found that a low mass ratio q=0.08 could explain most of the peculiarities of this dwarf nova. The mass-transfer rate should be accordingly higher than what is expected from gravitational radiation only, this assumes the object is in a post-nova state and underwent a nova eruption relatively recently -- hundreds of years ago. This object would provide probably the first observational evidence that a nova eruption can occur even in CVs near the period minimum.

We observed the 2016 outburst of OT J002656.6+284933 (CSS101212:002657+284933) and found that it has the longest recorded [0.13225(1) d in average] superhumps among SU UMa-type dwarf novae. The object is the third known SU UMa-type dwarf nova above t he period gap. The outburst, however, was unlike ordinary long-period SU UMa-type dwarf novae in that it showed two post-outburst rebrightenings. It showed superhump evolution similar to short-period SU UMa-type dwarf novae. We could constrain the mass ratio to less than 0.15 (most likely between 0.10 and 0.15) by using superhump periods in the early and post-superoutburst stages. These results suggest the possibility that OT J002656.6+284933 has an anomalously undermassive secondary and it should have passed a different evolutionary track from the standard one.
We found that the SU UMa-type dwarf nova NY Ser in the period gap [orbital period 0.097558(6) d] showed standstills twice in 2018. This is the first clear demonstration of a standstill occurring between superoutbursts of an SU UMa-type dwarf nova. Th ere was no sign of superhumps during the standstill, and at least one superoutburst directly started from the standstill. This provides strong evidence that the 3:1 resonance was excited during standstills. This phenomenon indicates that the disk radius can grow during standstills. We also interpret that the condition close to the limit of the tidal instability caused early quenching of superoutbursts, which resulted substantial amount of matter left in the disk after the superoutburst. We interpret that the substantial matter in the disk in condition close to the limit of the tidal instability is responsible for standstills (as in the high mass-transfer system NY Ser) or multiple rebrightenings (as in the low mass-transfer system V1006 Cyg).
We present time-resolved CCD photometry of a dwarf nova NSV 4838 (UMa 8, SDSS J102320.27+440509.8) during the 2005 June and 2007 February outburst. Both light curves showed superhumps with a mean period of 0.0699(1) days for the 2005 outburst and 0.0 69824(83) days for the 2007 outburst, respectively. Using its known orbital period of 0.0678 days, we estimated the mass ratio of the system to be $q$=0.13 based on an empirical relation. Although the majority of SU UMa-type dwarf novae having similar superhump periods show negative period derivatives, we found that the superhump period increased at $dot{P}$ / $P_{rm sh}$=+7(+3, -4)$times10^{-5}$ during the 2007 superoutburst. We also investigated long-term light curves of NSV 4838, from which we derived 340 days as a supercycle of this system.
MASTER OT 075353.88+174907.6 was a blue optical transient reported by the MASTER-Net project on 2017 Oct 31. This source was previously detected by {it GALEX} in its NUV band but not by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (in the optical). We carried out mu ltiwavelength follow-up observations of this source during its 2017 outburst using {it Swift} and RATIR. The source was found to be $gtrsim$4.4 mag above its quiescent level during the peak of the outburst and the outburst lasted $gtrsim$19 days. Our observations suggest that it was a superoutburst of a long orbital period U Geminorum type dwarf nova system. The spectral energy distribution during the initial slow decay phase of the outburst was consistent with a disk-dominated spectra (having spectral indices $Gamma ! sim$1.5--2.3). After this phase, the UV flux decreased slower than the optical and the spectral energy distribution was very steep with indices $Gamma ! sim$3.7$pm$0.7. This slow decay in the UV may be the emission from a cooling white dwarf heated during the outburst. The spectral shape determined from the assumed pre-outburst quiescent level was also steep ($Gamma ! gtrsim$2.5) indicating that the white dwarf is still hot in quiescence (even after the cooling due to the potential accretion-induced heating has halted). No X-ray emission was detected from the source since it is likely located at a large distance $>$2.3 kpc.
Photometry of Leo5 = 1H 1025+220 show that it is a dwarf nova of the Z Cam subtype. Two long standstills have been observed in the last five years.
