Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXII. 1RXS J232953.9+062814

We report photometry of a recently discovered dwarf nova with a remarkably short 64.2 minute orbital period. In quiescence, the star's light curve is that of a double sinusoid, arising from the "ellipsoidal" distortion of the Rocheā€lobeā€“filling secondary. During superoutburst, common superhumps develop with a period 3%ā€“4% longer than Porb. ā€¦
