TCP J00590972+3438357: likely WZ Sge-type dwarf nova

   Using the data from Itoh-san, Crimean Astrophys. Obs.
team, Tonny Vanmunster (partial data), Sano-san,,
Tamas Tordai and Maehara-san between Dec. 14 and 19,
I could identify a period 0.05682(6) d.
The amplitude was low (0.01 mag), but the profile looked
saw-toothed like early superhumps.
The period is close to that of Vanmunster's new period
(vsnet-alert 23803).  Although the correct identification
of the nature of the modulations in the early phase
requires refinement of the period of ordinary superhumps,
the long waiting time and the profile suggest
a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
