| Abstract: |
WZ Sge-type dwarf novae are characterized by very long recurrence times (≥10 yr). They also exhibit various types of rebrightenings after main outbursts, while the mechanism of the rebrightening phenomenon is poorly understood. Here, we report simultaneous g, V , Rc, Ic, J, and Ks-band observations throughout WZ Sge-type superoutbursts. We found unprecedented infrared activities, for example, prominent infrared superhumps and a temporary quite red state just after superoutbursts. They provide evidence for the presence of a mass reservoir at the outermost part of accretion disks, which is responsible for the rebrightening phenomenon. |
