[vsnet-campaign 169] XTE J1118+480 JD2451690 - 2451699



Dear Colleagues,

  I performed the period analysis on the data of XTE J1118+480 
from JD 2451690 to 2451699 (within this ten days), and 
obtained the best candidate of the period of 0.1701 (1) d.
I used the data by Kyoto team and sent by L. Cook (total 2455 points).
The phase averaged light curve is similar to typical superhumps 
and the relatively sharp hump, reported in [vsnet-campaign 135], 
become less clear.  In this period (JD2451690 - 2451699), 
the data shows no significant decline trend.  It is probable that 
the object stopped the decline or entered a more gradual decline phase.

  The short time fluctuations seem to be still exist, so more data 
is need to obtain a more accurate averaged light curve.  
The source is still bright.  We will welcome any additional data.  

Regards,
Makoto Uemura
