V585 Lyr: possible presence of superhump-like modulations? Dear Collagues, The VSNET Collaboration has just received CCD time-resolved photometry of V585 Lyr by Jochen Pietz (Sep. 14-15). The light curve seems to show 0.1 mag hump-like variations with a period close to 0.1 d. The object was fading at a rate of 0.3 mag/d. If this object is indeed an SU UMa-type dwarf nova, this observations may have recorded the growing stage of superhumps (of a long-period SU UMa-type dwarf nova?). More detailed analysis will be presented later. Further observations are strongly encouraged! Regards, Taichi Kato VSNET Collaboration team
