SX LMi: normal superoutburst plateau
After the precursor on January 22, the subsequent superhump maximum
on January 23 and then, the supermaximum on January 24, SX LMi
is now in a superoutburst plateau typical for the other SU UMa stars.
Our observation on January 27 shows the object is gradually fading with
a constant rate of 0.18 mag/d since the supermaximum. While our last
night run covers only one hour due to bad weather, we can see a descending
branch of a superhump in the light curve whose amplitude seems to be
somewhat smaller than that observed on January 25.
