[vsnet-chat 3767] WX Hyi behaviour



Hi,
 
WX Hyi has just shown the following sequence of events in succession
 
1. normal outburst
2. superoutburst
3. another normal (?) outburst, ongoing at this moment.
 
Phases 1 and 2 do occur in succession with other systems too.
However event 3 seems a bit out of phase. The going theory spells that the superoutburst is the 'complete cleaning' phase, iow all H is burned away.
What happens to WX Hyi then for it still to have another outburst? Is it unstable mass transfer by the secondary triggered by the past s/outburst or is it due to another unrelated activity?
 
Do I hear 'flickering'?
 
Regards,
 
Berto Monard
