/ Abstract
Photometric and spectroscopic observations reveal the Sloan Digital Sky Survey cataclysmic variable SDSS J132723.39+652854.2 to be a likely SW Sex star with an orbital period of P = 3.28 hr. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectrum shows strong He i, He ii, and Balmer emission lines. Time‐resolved spectra acquired at Apache Point Observatory reveal absorption‐line structure within the emission lines near phase 0.5. Photometric data obtained at Manastash Ridge Observatory using Harris V and B filters reveal a high‐inclination system (i = 80°) with deep (∼2 mag) eclipses. The orbital period and the spectral variations favor an SW Sex interpretation.
