[vsnet-alert 356] superhumps of HS Vir

[Taichi Kato <tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp>]

   HS Vir (cf. alert 354) still continues to be bright at around V~13.7,
with prominent superhumps with an amplitude of ~0.3 mag.  A preliminary
analysis of the light curve by the Phase Dispersion Minimization (PDM)
method has yielded a superhump period of 0.0887 day, which is also
supported by an analysis of times of superhump maxima.  The period is by
6.1% longer than the suggested orbital period (Ringwald 1993).  However,
a shorter one-day alias (0.0812 day) solution can not be completely
rejected due to the shortness of observing runs and the poor weather.
