A New WZ Sagittae-type Dwarf Nova KSP-OT-202104a Near the Period Minimum from the KMTNet Supernova Program
A new WZ Sagittae-type dwarf nova KSP-OT-202104a shows a superhump period of 71.7 minutes, placing it below the orbital period minimum and on a path toward AM CVn stars.

Record completeness
Claims
we consider that this target would belong to the small sample of DNe below the period minimum and may be evolving toward AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) stars. This system therefore adds an example of a short-period dwarf nova with a low mass-transfer rate to the known sample.
Since the orbital period in WZ Sge-type DNe is typically very close to the superhump period, we consider that this target would belong to the small sample of DNe below the period minimum.
Discovery of KSP-OT-202104a, a new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with P_sh ≈ 71.7 min likely below the period minimum and evolving toward AM CVn.
