WZ Sge: fading from the fourth rebrightening, eclipses!

Dear Colleagues,

   We have received new data from J. Pietz and D. Starkey.  The data, together
with the Kyoto data, confirmed the continuing fading trend from the maximum
of the fourth rebrightening.

   The fading was slow during the Kyoto observation (0.17 mag/d), but became
more rapid (0.84 mag/d between Aug. 28.81 and 29.20), and is apparently
continuing.

   Among the "triple-hump" profile, one seems to be identified with
persisting signal close to the quiescent orbital humps (and may also be
identified with early superhumps?), and the others (weaker ones) are moving
in phase. Eclipses became sharper and deeper as the system faded.

   We have put representative phase-averaged light curves on Aug. 28-29
on the VSNET WZ Sge page.
