TCP J08374922+0134065: emergence of ordinary superhumps
The most recent time-series data after 11th April by Josch Hambsch and Peter Starr in VSNET and AAVSO shows single-peaked + eclipse variations with a period of 0.06044(6) d, likely ordinary superhumps. The refined early superhump period is 0.05947(3) d.
Further observations are encouraged to establish its superhump evolution.

TCP J08374922+0134065: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with large early superhump amplitude
TCP J08374922+0134065 was discovered by Y. Nakamura on 3rd April at 14.7 mag. Based on the suggested counterpart (GALEX J083749.2+013407) with g=20.22(2) and the brightest ASAS-SN measurement with g~13.4 mag, the outburst amplitude is 6.8mag. http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J08374922+0134065.html

Itoh-san has reported the time-resolved observations on 6th April and the light curve shows a double-peaked modulation with a period of ~0.059 d and an amplitude of 0.2 mag with possible eclipses. Thus TCP J08374922+0134065 is a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with high inclination. Time-resolved observations are strongly encouraged.
