V803 Cen: brightened again! Dear Colleagues, We have received new data from Berto Monard and Greg Bolt. Following the fading reported by Monard on June 11, V803 Cen returned to its maximum (plateau) phase 1 day later, and subsequently showed a precipitous decline. On the next night, the object brightened again! The amplitudes of these oscillations were initially about 1 mag, and seem to be damping. Very dense observations are absolutely needed to record the full variation of this monster variable star! The superhump signal has been only weakly seen during this oscillation stage. [The web light curve update is somewhat delayed - please be patient a bit]. Regards, Taichi Kato VSNET Collaboration team
