ASASSN-16hg: early superhump?

     Josch Hambsch and Kyoto U. team have reported new observations.
The object have shown low-amplitude modulations (0.02-0.03 mag)
with a period of 0.0757052 d. Such low amplitude suggests that these
modulations are early superhumps. However, the profile doesn't looks
like a double wave. Note that the signal is weak, so the period may not
be accurate. If the period is  correct, the object can be a period
bouncer. Further observations are encouraged.
