05512A = 90029 With a magnitude limit of +8 0551201 started flashing at 215416 (RA=0234), stopped at 220626 (RA=0245). Flashes are actually 2 sets; each set has period (050118) 54.04s. The two sets overlap for about 4 minutes, during this 4 minutes the flashes come at intervals of 54.04/2 = 27.02 s. The RA of the last flash has not changed much in 6 days, probably the RA of the first flash has not changed. There must be another part of its orbit where flashes can be seen, but noone knows where.
