SX LMi possible superoutburst Carlo Gualdoni reports that the SU UMa-type dwarf nova SX LMi is undergoing an outburst. The current brightness and past behavior suggest that the current outburst may be a superoutburst. The recent behavior of SX LMi has been rather unusual in that it showed a number of normal outbursts, which were not very frequently seen in the past. The present SX LMi is a good potential target for time-series photometry (no superoutburst of SX LMi has been fully followed comparable to those of other SU UMa stars recently observed).
