SX LMi: gradually fading Our observation on January 25 shows that SX LMi is gardually fading with the rate about 0.2mag/d. The superhump amplitude is comparable to that observed on January 24, in contrast to that on January 23 when the superhump amplitude was quite large (~0.4mag) although the average magnitude at that time is similar to that on January 25. Our period analysis shows the best period of 0.069531(38) d, which is almost equal to that reported in Nogami et al. (1997) (0.06950(2) d). It was rain on January 26 at Kyoto. We will be able to take some run tonight. Regards, Makoto Uemura
