SX LMi: relatively rapid fading?
The Kyoto team performed time-series photometry of SX LMi and
found that the object faded with the rate of 0.25 mag/day.
This is somewhat faster compared with the ordinary superoutburst.
In the light curve, we can find a hint of weak double-peaked variations
in one orbital (~superhump) period, but they are not conclusive
because the short base-line. Tonight observation will also essential
to reveal the nature of the current outburst.
