ASASSN-16dt: updated period of stage A superhumps

   Gordon Myers and Kyoto U. team have reported 
further observations.  The object shows a constant
period of 0.06486(5) d, which appears to represent
the period of long-lasting stage A superhumps.
The profile is different from that of ordinary
fully developed superhumps.  Further observations
are needed to test this interpretation by detecting
a transition to stage B.
