[vsnet-alert 650] rebrightening of EG Cnc again!

[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

   CCD observations at Ouda Station on Dec. 24 and 25 show EG Cnc has again
started to brighten!  The object rose linearly from V=16.16 (Dec. 24.563)
to V=15.77 (Dec. 24.864).  The object looks V~15.2 (Dec. 25.61) tonight
on the TV monitor.  Intensive observations with large-aperture telescopes
are strongly recommended to see what happens in this rarely encountered
post-rebrightenening stage of this possible WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.  AL Com
in 1995 showed a regrowth of superhumps suggesting that this post-outburst
brightening is powered by the tidal instability.
