RX J1450.5+6403 period from quiescent observations

Dear Colleagues,

   We have received quiescent photometry of RX J1450.5+6403 from the
Nyrola Observatory team (Arto Oksanen, Marko Moilanen, Timo Kinnunen).
The period analysis has yielded a strong, sharp signal at P=0.0289 d
and its double.  The period is prettey close to the half of the spectroscopic
period announced by John Thorstensen (vsnet-alert 4848).  The feature
is quite remniscent of other short-period SU UMa systems like WZ Sge, AL Com
and BC UMa.  More information from newly available data will be presented
in vsnet-campaign.

Regards,
Taichi Kato,
On behalf of the VSNET Collaboration team
