TCP J18513997+3522412: large-amplitude modulation, possibly eclipsing WZ Sge-type dwarf nova?

TCP J18513997+3522412 was discovered by Y. Nakamura on 22nd May at 13.7 mag (unfiltered). The counterpart star in Pan-STARRS1 is r~20.5 mag, and thus the outburst amplitude is 6.8 mag.

Sano-san reported the time-resolved observations of this object. Although the baseline was just one hour, the light curve shows a large-amplitude modulation of ~0.35 mag. This is likely either an ordinary superhump in a SU UMa-type dwarf nova or even a large-amplitude early superhump + eclipse in an eclipsing WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.

Further time-resolved observations with longer baselines are encouraged.
