[vsnet-alert 18134] TCP J16054809+2405338: new UGSU type dwaf nova

[Tonny Vanmunster]

Dear colleagues,

Last night (2015, Jan 1), I obtained unfiltered CCD photometry observations
of TCP J16054809+2405338 at CBA Belgium Observatory,  using a 0.35-m f/6.3
telescope and STT-3200ME CCD camera. The resulting light curve - covering a
period of 2.9 hours - clearly shows the presence of superhumps, hence
establishing this target as a new UGSU-type dwarf nova. The sumperhump
amplitude is approx 0.15 mag. A period analysis using the ANOVA and PDM
methods (Peranso), yields a period of 0.054 +/- 0.001 d. 

Observations have been sent to CBA and VSNET for further analysis.

Best regards
Tonny
