OT_J191443.6+605214: superhumps update
We have received further data from Maehara-san, Nakajima-san and
Kyoto data (observer: Ohshima-san). The data confirmed the superhump
period of 0.07142(2) d. An O-C analysis has yielded a relatively large
large (+5-10*10^(-5), depending on the intervals used) period derivative
for this superhump period. This object may be either undergoing a stage
of rapid evolution of superhumps, or the object may be a system with
rare and long superoutbursts for a relatively long orbital period
(similar to QY Per). The farly large outburst amplitude (~5 mag) might
support the latter possibility. Further continued observations are
strongly encouraged.
