Dear colleagues,
I have just completed the analysis of my unfiltered CCD observations of TCP J06455595+1210577, obtained on Apr 01/02, 2025 at CBA Belgium Observatory. The data was collected using a 0.40-m f/10.0 telescope and QHY-268M CMOS camera under clear skies. This object was recently discovered by XOSS and announced as a possible CV candidate (see http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J06455595+1210577.html)
The light curve clearly reveals the presence of regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.29 mag, establishing TCP J06455595+1210577 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. A period analysis, using the ANOVA, Lomb-Scargle, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle and PDM methods (Peranso 3.1) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0731 +/- 0.0014d. The object was measured at mag CV = 16.2 on Apr 01st.
Image calibration and photometry were performed using Phoranso, allowing me to simultaneously measure 4 other variables within the field of view of TCP J06455595+1210577.
Further observations are encouraged to refine the superhump period.
I will submit my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
With kind regards,
Tonny
