Dear colleagues,
I have just finished analysing my unfiltered CCD observations of CRTS J090516.0+120451 obtained on 2023, Apr 10/11 at CBA Extremadura Observatory (Spain) using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and SX-46 CCD camera under relatively clear skies. My observations were triggered by vsnet-alert 27609.
The resulting light curve clearly shows the presence of regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.39 mag, establishing CRTS J090516.0+120451 as a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova. A period analysis, using the ANOVA, Generalized-Lomb-Scargle, PDM and Conditional Entropy methods (Peranso 3.0) yields a combined superhump period of 0.0645 +/- 0.0024d. The object was at mag CV = 15.7 on Apr 11th.
I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
Best regards
Tonny
