Abstract:We present a detailed study of the MASTER OT J030227.28$+$191754.5 outburst in 2021–2022, which reached an amplitude of $10.2\:$mag and a duration of $60\:$d. The detections of (1) the double-peaked optical emission lines, and (2) the early and ordinary superhumps, established that MASTER OT J030227.28$+$191754.5 is an extremely energetic WZ Sge-type dwarf nova (DN). Based on the superhump observations, we obtained its orbital period and mass ratio as $0.05986(1)\:$d and 0.063(1), respectively. These values ar… Show more
