In the lightcurve of DV UMa on 8 Dec obtained from our
observation at Kyoto, we detected eclipses of about 1 mag, whose
profiles are gentler and shallower than that in the normal
outburst in 1995 (eclipsing depth = 1.6 mag).
We can also see variation like superhumps.
These facts indicate DV UMa is undergoing a superoutburst.
We started tonight's observation on DV UMa on 12:00, 9 Dec (UT),
and more than 7-hour observation will be possible.
More observations at other sites are urged.
Regards,
Makoto Uemura and Taichi Kato
