ASASSN-17pb: superhump period and another period?

   Tonny Vanmunster, Ian Miller and Kyoto U. team have
reported observations.  On the most recent two nights,
this object showed well-established superhumps
as Tonny reported.  The data, however, could not be
expressed by a single period.  It was likely that
there was stage A-B transition between Nov. 18 and 19.
Miller's data on Nov. 16 showed short-period variations,
which might have been growing phase of superhumps.
The data, however, could not be expressed by
the superhump period or its harmonic.
An independent analysis gave a period of 0.0170(2) d
with an amplitude of 0.14 mag.  Let's see whether this
is the second period of this object and may appear
again (such as in an intermediate polar).
