BF Ara new data from Greg Bolt

Dear Colleagues,

   We have received new long time-series of BF Ara (Aug. 21) from Greg Bolt.
The light curve still clearly show the clear presence of superhumps.
There is some hint of appearance of secondary superhumps.

   An analysis of the combined data set has yielded the best superhump
period of 0.08805(2) d.  The mean fading rate during the present superoutburst
plateau is 0.08 mag/d, which is relatively small among SU UMa-type
dward novae.  Further continued excellent coverage of the present superoutburst
will provide us a waelth of information on this SU UMa/ER UMa borderline
object!

Regards,
