KK Tel: new observation from Roland Santallo Dear Colleagues, We have just received new set of observations from Roland Santallo. The light curve still clearly showed superhumps on June 22. The mean superhump period using all observations is 0.08804 d, but the observations are no longer expressed by a single period. A very preliminary estimate of the period change is an order of -3x10^(-4). This large negative superhump Pdot is again unprecedented in usual SU UMa-type dwarf novae. There also may be a possibility that this period change is a result of the early evolution of the superhumps. Together with the possible presence of the beat phenomenon, the object clearly deserves further intensive observations! Regards, Taichi Kato on behalf of the VSNET Collaboration team
