ER UMa: what happens?
We have further observations from Akazawa-san and Tom Krajci.
Obtained data imply that this "familiar" object shows irregular
variations. According to the period analysis, 0.062232 (17) d
is obtained. However, the interval of peaks appears to be a
little longer although not very confirmed.
Additionaly, the strength of peak seems to change. On Jan. 24,
the peak which had been strongest weaken suddenly (during 1 ~
2 maxima) and another weaker peak strengthened. Such a behavior
also confuse us. Further observations are strongly encouraged
in order to determine whether this is negative superhumps.
