Dear Colleagues,

A candidate of dwarf novae TSS 022216.4+412260 is in outburst with a magnitude
of about 16. Although the object is faint, Kyoto team (Kubota, K. Imada, A., and Kato T.) 
detected hump-like features with a period of 0.057(2) days. If this period is superhump 
period of SU UMa stars, this is one of the shortest periods among SU UMa stars including 
WZ Sge stars (see e.g., Kato et al. PASJ 53, 1191; Price et al. PASP 116, 1117). 

Further CCD observations are encouraged.

Regards,
Akira Imada
