[vsnet-alert 17309] Re: SDSS J140429.37+172359.5 outburst

[Colin Littlefield]

I observed this object from 6:10 UT - 9:01 UT on May 19. The light curve 
is intriguing and occasionally shows relatively fast variation on a 
timescale of several minutes. There were two "humps" in the light curve, 
but I do not believe that they are periodic. Overall, the system varied 
from CV ~ 14.6 - CV ~ 15.3 during my observations. Although my power 
spectra indicate a periodicity of 1.8 h, I don't think that this is the 
true period.

There were thin clouds throughout my observations, but I am confident 
that they were not responsible for any of the variation that I detected.

Best Regards,
Colin
