Dear Colleagues,

We've received CCD data from Pavol A. Dubovsky on July 6th. The light curve 
shows a hint of superhumps with an amplitude of 0.2 mag.

Spectroscopic observations of J0532 have been published recently by 
Kapusta & Thorstensen (astro-ph/0607071), in which the orbital period
of the system is given 0.05620(4) (80.93 min). 

Despite the short period of J0532, an estimated supercycle is ~450 days.
This imples the object bears some resemblance to T Leo, PU CMa, V844 Her ...
rather than well known short period UGSUs, e.g. SW UMa, WX Cet.

Time resolved CCD photometry is encouraged !

Best Regards,
Akira Imada
