Scientific paper

The ability to establish the time of maximum light is important for many different types of variable stars. We present a method for accurately timing superoutbursts in SU UMa-type cataclysmic variables. The shape of superoutbursts in SU UMa stars are very uniform for any individual star (although widely varying from star to star). Their also exists a smooth linear decline after maximum light that lasts several days. By observing a star during this period, only two observations separated by hours to days are required to make a linear fit, enabling accurate timings to be obtained without regard to maximum light of the superoutburst itself.
