[vsnet-outburst 6913] 1RXS J053234.9+624755: refined superhump period

[Taichi Kato]

   Two-nights' data of 1RXS J053234.9+624755 by Pavol A. Dubovsky
submitted to the VSNET Collaboration have firmly established the
presence of 0.2-0.3 mag superhumps.

   Although the superhump period yet cannot be uniquely determined
due to the aliasing problem, we have obtained a period of 0.05696(3) d
by assuming the alias selection based on Tonny Vanmunster's period
of 0.0571(2) d for the 2005 March superoutburst.  The new, refined
period also gives a fractional period excess of 1.3%.
The raw data by Dubovsky, however, seem to favor the selection of
a longer alias, which needs to be examined with more observations.
A future refined selection of the alias might explain some of the
apparent discrepancy between the published period and the outburst
behavior, suggested by A. Imada.
