Scientific paper

We present new photometric and spectroscopic observations of the transient supersoft X-ray source RX J0537.7-7034 and find a periodicity of approximately 3.5 hrs. This establishes RX J0537.7-7034 as the supersoft X-ray source with the shortest orbital period. We furthermore derive an inclination of the binary system of 45
