Abstract

We photometrically observed the 2003 superoutburst of GO Com, which is a candidate for WZ Sge-type dwarf novae (WZ). However, the obtained light curve is atypical of both types: a plateau stage is too short for SU UMa-type dwarf novae (SU) while the amplitude of the superoutburst is too small for WZ. In order to explain this behavior, it might be taken into account that the mass accretion onto the white dwarf is efficient during quiescence.
