WZ Sge: fading from the 8-th rebrightening

Dear Colleagues,

    We have received new data from D. Starkey, and added new data from
Ouda observation (observer M. Uemura) and Kyoto observatin (observer
R. Ishioka).  Starkey's data between Sep. 5.05 and 5.21 clearly show
the fading trend, as was observed during the 7-th rebrighetening.
The overall behavior of the 8-th rebeightening is similar to the 7-th
rebrightening, except for remarkable changes in the hump and eclipse
profiles.  The flat maximum (or the outburst duty cycle) seems to have
become longer in recent rebrightenings.  The star may be around maximum
of the 9-th rebrightening now (?)

    Time-series analysis will be presented later.

Regards,
Taichi Kato
