OGLE I-band light curves of the detected variable from seasons 2016–2018 in the time domain (on the left) and phased with a proper period (on the right). The presence of outbursts at such short period points to an ultracompact system. Due to severe blending the real amplitudes of the outbursts and periodic modulation are expected to be much higher.
