WZ Sge: 12-th rebrightening, a different one!

Dear Colleagues,

   Very preliminary analysis of the Kyoto data last night has shown that
WZ Sge took a (very) slow rise between Sep. 11.5 and 12.5.  The object has
further risen since the preceding observation by D. Starkey.

   The rise time of ~1 d is extremely long compared to those of the previous
rebrightenings.  This suggest that the present rebrightening has a different
nature from the past rebrightenings.  It would be noteworthy that the
6-th (last) rebrightening of EG Cnc had a substantially slower rise,
accompanied with a slow rise lasting more than a day before reaching maximum
(Kato et al. 1997).  Observers are most strongly and urgently requested to
follow the behavior of WZ Sge!

   The time-series light curve looks rather flat, pending further detailed
analysis.  More later.

Regards,
Taichi Kato
