PTF1 J071912.13+485834.0: superhump period

   An analysis of the first two nights and the last
two nights (when superhump signals were visible)
has yielded a period of 0.01858(1) d.  The period
is almost identical with the orbital period
reported in Levitan et al. (2011).  It may have been
that Levitan et al. detected persistent superhumps.
Since the present measurement was based on a limited
sample with a large gap, more observations are needed
to confirm this period.
