MASTER OT J213908.79+161240.2: likely showing (early) superhumps

Kyoto Univ. Obs. have reported observations of MASTER OT
J213908.79+161240.2 for two nights.
I see a sign of superhumps with a period of  0.0577(3) d, although I cannot
judge whether this is double-peak or not due to the quality of data.
Since it's only 2 days from the discovery, this modulation could be an
early superhump. It's short period also suggests that this system is a good
candidate for WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.

More observation will clarify the existence of early superhumps and the
period of observation.
