OT J213806.6+261957: superhump period variation
Maehara-san, Akazawa-san (Okayama. U. of Sci. team) and Enrique
de Miguel have reported further observations. It has now become
evident that the superhump period is increasing. The measured
dot(P)/P = +7.1(1.6)*10^(-5). This period increase seems to suggest
that the object is not a very extreme WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
The small number of past outbursts may have been a result of
a low frequency of observations or observational gaps.
Future monitoring of this object for outbursts would be fruitful.
