Abstract (from CDS):

We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the new eclipsing cataclysmic variable MASTER OTJ192328.22+612413.5, discovered by the MASTER team. We find the orbital period to be P=0.16764612(5) day/4.023507(1) hr. The depth of the eclipse (2.9±0.1 mag) suggests that the system is nearly edge on, and modeling of the system confirms the inclination to be between 81.°3 and 83.°6. The brightness outside the eclipse varies between observations, with a change of 1.6±0.1 mag. Spectroscopy reveals double-peaked Balmer emission lines. By using spectral features matching a late M-type companion, we bound the distance to be 750±250 pc, depending on the companion's spectral type. The source displays 2 mag brightness changes on timescales of days. The amplitude of these changes, along with the spectrum at the faint state, suggest that the system is possibly a dwarf nova. The lack of any high-excitation He ii lines suggests that this system is not magnetically dominated. The light curve in both quiescence and outburst resembles that of Lanning 386, implying MASTER OTJ192328.22+612413.5 is a possible cross between a dwarf nova and a SW Sextantis star.
