WZ Sge: humps and eclipses (cont'd)

Dear Colleagues,

   We have further analyzed the data.  The analysis of the data on Oct. 2
revealed the presence of strong humps (coincoding with pre-eclipse humps),
but eclipses were weak compared to what were observed one beat cycle before.
Although eclipses became deeper on the subsequent night, the analysis up to
now has not shown a depth comparable to those in previous occasions.
It may be likely the eclipse feature has been becoming weaker as the system
faded.  Since WZ Sge is known to show considerable eclipses in quiescence,
it would be very recommendable to follow the evolution of the eclipse
features (i.e. disk radius, eccentricity, hot spot), until the system
returns to its normal quiescence.

   More analysis is in progress.

Regards,
