New DN in Cam (OT_J055718+683226): superhump period revised

    Our observation and preliminary analysis are ongoing.
We have updated our web page, now including multicolor superhumps
simultaneously obtained with V and J bands.

http://home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/hasc/kanata/j0557/index.html

We revised the superhump period to be 0.0534(6) d
using our tonight observation.
While the object is not very bright, long time-series observations
are definitely helpful to study the temporal evolution of superhumps
of this shortest period system.
