SX LMi possible superoutburst
Carlo Gualdoni reports that the SU UMa-type dwarf nova SX LMi is undergoing
an outburst. The current brightness and past behavior suggest that the
current outburst may be a superoutburst. The recent behavior of SX LMi
has been rather unusual in that it showed a number of normal outbursts,
which were not very frequently seen in the past. The present SX LMi
is a good potential target for time-series photometry (no superoutburst of
SX LMi has been fully followed comparable to those of other SU UMa stars
recently observed).
