SDSS J133941.11+484727.5 started fading rapidly!

   Arto Oksanen has reported most recent observations.  The data clearly
show that the object has entered the rapid decline phase.  Superhumps
are also superimposed.  Although there is some evidence of a shortening
of the period, the object apparently entered the rapid fading before
a clear stage B-C transition appeared.  It is very important to see
if stage C superhumps appear during this fading and subsequent stages.
My impression is that the object is similar to FL Psc = ASAS J002511+1217.2,
which showed complex evolution of humps following the rapid fading and
during the rebrightening phase.
The object is expected to be sufficiently bright even after the fading,
and please continue your observations.

   More detailed analysis will be presented by Ohshima-san.
