ASASSN-20aj: ordinary superhumps
Berto Monard, Itoh-san and Josch Hambsch have reported
observations. The object confidently showed superhumps
on Jan. 25 and 28 (Monard's data). The period has been
difficult to fix due to a long interval between runs,
but the strongest signals are 0.06015(2), 0.06139(2)
and 0.05896(2) d. Further data will clarify the correct
alias selection. No evidence of superhumps was
present in short segments of data obtained earlier.
Based on the long waiting time and the large amplitude,
this object appears to be a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
