[vsnet-alert 13475] Re: OT J142548+151502 = Catalina transient: a new SU UMa star in the period gap

[Gianluca Masi]

Dear Colleagues,

after 3.1 hours of coverage I had to end the session.

The superhump period is estimated at 2.4(0.1) hours, so this SU UMa is 
well inside the period gap.

Data sent to Kyoto.

Best,
Gianluca
