NSV01440 = ASASSN-15sz: rapid fading and superhumps
Berto Monard and Josch Hambsch have reported new
observations. The object entered the rapid fading
phase on Nov. 24-25. This behavior has confirmed
that the variations are superhumps, rather than
early superhumps or orbital variations.
Such early fading is frequently seen in AM CVn-type
superoutbursts, and it may be a tempoarary dip
followed by oscillatory variations.
Further continued observations are strongly requested.
