   Sorry, it was my typo during the re-typing to my usual format.

   I rather presume the outburst cycle length as short as 8 days.
If proven, this is one of the shortest cycle lengths among "usual"
SU UMa-type dwarf novae.  Yes, it resembles WX Hyi, and the northern
YZ Cnc.  I just wonder why such active dwarf nova left from being discovered
until the age of X-ray sattelites.  To add, there was (about a year ago)
a discussion in vsnet-chat on the possible link of WX Hyi to ER UMa stars,
the most active SU UMa-type dwarf novae.
