According to the data from TRANSIENT Name Service (TNS) Gaia24aes/AT 2024re was discovered on 2024-01-05 14:00:57.600 by S.T. Hodgkin, E. Breedt, A. Delgado, D.L. Harrison, M. van Leeuwen, G. Rixon, T. Wevers, A. Yoldas (IoA Cambridge), N. Ihanec, K. Kruszyńska, K.A. Rybicki, Ł. Wyrzykowski (Warsaw University Astronomical Observatory), Z. Kostrzewa-Rutkowska (Leiden Observatory), D.

Our follow-up observations were provided on 09 August, 2026 with 0.7-m f/4 AZT-8 telescope at the Observational Station Lisnyky of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. On the reulted lightcurve we can clearly detected superhumps. Period detection gives us a result of Psh = 0.077(3)d. Results were published in The Astronomer's Telegram.
