Josch Hambsch and Kyoto U. team have reported new observations.
The object showed a double superoutburst which is a characteristic of
a period bouncer candidate. The stage A superhump period is
0.062344(34) d and the most likely period of the early superhumps is
0.061426(48) d. Thus the estimated mass ratio is 0.037(4) whish suggests
that the object is a period bouncer. Further observations are encouraged.
