ASASSN-19sk: emergence of superhump?

    Vihorlat observatory team and Tonny Vanmunster reported observations.
Since the light curve during the fading looks like superhumps with the period of
0.1 d and an amplitude of 0.6 mag, this object might be an SU UMa-type in the
period gap. This outburst might be either a failed superhump or a precursor
one. Further time-resolved observations are strongly encouraged.
