Dear colleagues,
I have just finished analysing my unfiltered CCD observations of ASASSN-14fx, obtained on 2023, Jan 23/24 at CBA Extremadura Observatory (Spain) using a 0.40-m f/5.1 telescope and SX-46 CCD camera under clear skies.
The resulting light curve clearly shows the presence of regular superhumps with an amplitude of 0.24 mag, establishing ASASSN-14fx 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 0.0652 +/- 0.0006d. The object was at mag CV = 16.3 on Jan 23rd.
I will send my observations to AAVSO, CBA and VSNET for further analysis.
Best regards
Tonny
