Abstract
The results of three short photometric monitoring runs on the L0 dwarf 2MASS
J06050196−2342270, during three consecutive nights, are presented. The observations show
the persistent presence of a 2.4-h period, with an IC band amplitude which decreased from 27
to 11 mmag over the three nights. The amplitude in the RC band appeared to be substantially
smaller than in the IC band.
