TCP J20131357+1154031: new SU UMa-type dwarf nova, possibly WZ Sge-type

K. Itagaki discovered TCP J20131357+1154031 on 2025-05-19 UTC at 14.7 mag (unfiltered). The outburst amplitude is ~8.4 mag. https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=10848625

SAAO/Lesedi telescope, Josch Hambsch, and Sano-san have reported the time-resolved observations. Josch's observations after 28 May show single-peaked variation with a period of 0.05797(6) d, likely an ordinary superhump. No clear modulations were presented before this. Thus TCP J20131357+1154031 is a new SU UMa-type dwarf nova and a good candidate for a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, given its late appearance of ordinary superhumps.
