ER UMa: emergence of ordinary superhumps?

   According to Josch Hambsch's most recent data, the amplitudes of
the humps have doubled within a few cycles.  Although the baseline
is still too short, the timing analysis suggests a longer period
(0.0658-0.0661 d), which looks like a period of ordinary superhumps!
Continued observations in order to follow the evolution are very
urgently requested!

   More detailed analysis and summary will be reported by Ohshima-san.
