Re: DDE 35: more likely a polar
E. Pavlenko has advised that this object is too blue for a polar. The data by Crimean Astrophys. Obs. team in 2020 showed flickering, but no indication of stable superhumps nor orbital variation. Although a period of 0.20976(3) d was suspected from CrAO observations (by my analysis), this period was not detected in the ZTF data.
This object indeed looks like a CV with high/low states, but is certainly neither an SU UMa nor a polar. This object is currently in high state and would be an easy target for spectroscopy to determine the orbital period.
