Scientific paper

We report on time-resolved CCD photometry of the 2005 March/April superoutburst of a recently confirmed SU UMa-type dwarf nova, 1RXS J053234+624755. The superoutburst was accompanied by a precursor in which conspicuous superhumps were visible from the second night of the precursor. This is a rare example where superhumps were observed during a precursor. Concerning an estimated mass ratio of 0.07 for the system, the present observations contrast with the well-known Lubow relation. We also found that the superhump period increased as the superoutburst proceeded, despite the fact that the superoutburst showed a precursor. If the superhump-period change is closely related to the disk radius of the superoutburst, systems having a small mass ratio could display an increasing superhump period, even if the superoutburst contains a precursor.
