ASASSN-18rg: stable with superhumps

     Geoff Stone, Josch Hambsch and Tonny Vanmunster have reported further
observations. The object has been stable around 16.8 mag for 5 days. We can
see superhumps whose period is almost constant, but the amplitude is gradually
decreasing. It is difficult to predict the next behavior because WZ Sge-like super-
outburst in AM CVn stars are rarely observed.
     Continuous observations are very recommended.
