SX LMi bright outburst
The SU UMa-type dwarf nova SX LMi is reported to be in outburst.
The present outburst is a relatively bright one, suggesting a superoutburst.
The last superoutburst was observed in 2000 March - April (cf. vsnet-alert
4492, 4496, 4499).

As already mentioned in vsnet-alert 3999, this outburst would provide
an excellent opportunity to observe superhumps in the early stage.
The superoutburst of SX LMi was best observed on its 1994 occasion
(Nogami et al., PASP 109, 1114). The detailed superhump period and
period changes still await further observations.
