We present the results of a photometric campaign of the dwarf nova V1040 Cen. The light curve shows two normal outbursts with recurrence time ≈40 days and amplitude ≈2.5 mag. Quiescence data show oscillations with periods in the range ≈0.1 days (2.4 h) to ≈0.5 days (12 h) of unknown origin. We measured the orbital period of V1040 Cen to be Porb=0.060458(80) days (1.451±0.002 h). Based on the MV-Porb relation we found the distance of V1040 Cen to be 137±31 pc. In this paper we also report the detection of eleven new variable stars in the field of the monitored dwarf nova.
