Abstract:
WX Cet is a dwarf nova with rare outbursts of large amplitude.
We compile the available data of WX Cet, compare the results with
other SU UMa stars, and discuss our findings in the context of current
theories of superhumps and superoutbursts to progress with our
understanding of SU UMa stars.
Description:
The data consist of pairs of columns (HJD, delta_mag) of differential
magnitudes of WX Ceti relative to its comparison star for every batch
of data as described in Sterken et al. (2005JAD....11....1S 2005JAD....11....1S) and used
for constructing Table 2 in the analysis of the present A&A paper.
