ASASSN-21bh: emergence of superhumps (most likely WZ Sge star)

   Josch Hambsch and Berto Monard have reported observations.
The most recent data by Hambsch (Feb. 24-25) apparently
show emerging superhumps.  The period is likely 0.0612(1) d,
but needs to be confirmed by further observations
(the number of points is still insufficient).
If this period is confirmed, this object would be
a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with multiple rebrightening.
