GO Com: period decrease? Dear Colleagues, We have received further data from Donn Starkey. The combination of all the data now marginally show the decrease in the superhump period, which is not inconsistent with the superhump period (the superhump period of GO Com lies close to the borderline of negative-postive superhump Pdot distribution). However, the data may also suggest that the early 10 superhump cycles had a different period evolution from that in the later stage. In any case, we are witnessing the early development of the superhumps, as is also suggested from the presence of what can be understood as "super-QPOs". We have updated the figure of the superhump profile on the VSNET web page. Please reload the figure. Regards, Taichi Kato VSNET Collaboration team
