Dear colleagues,

I have just concluded the analysis of my 2019, Jan 20/21 unfiltered CCD photometry sessions of CRTS J014709.7+171520. Observations were made at CBA Belgium Observatory,  using a 0.40-m f/10.0 telescope and SBIG STT-3200ME CCD camera, under very clear skies but with strong moonlight.  

 

The resulting light curve clearly shows the presence of superhumps with an amplitude of 0.29 mag, hence classifying this object as a new SU UMa type dwarf nova.  A period analysis using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso), yields a combined superhump period of 0.0973 +/- 0.0021d. The object was at mag 15.3 (CV) on Jan 20th. 

 

I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis. 

 

Follow-up observations are highly recommended to further refine the superhump period.

 

Best regards
Tonny
