Scientific paper

We report on the detection of photometric modulation with the orbital period for the recurrent nova T Pyx, now in the tail of an eruption (IAUC #9205, ATel #3549, ATel #3647). Our V-band observations are made with the 0.5-m telescope at the Caisey Harlingten Observatory near San Pedro de Atacama in Chile with 30-second time resolution (see ATel #3707). We have corrected our photometry for an airmass effect where the strong line emissions visible in the T Pyx spectrum have small differential effects with respect to the comparison stars.
