BO Cet: superoutburst

   Josch Hambsch, Kyoto U team, Itoh-san and Tonny
Vanmunster have reported new observations.
Although short nightly coverage makes detection
of superhumps difficult, the current outburst
is a slowly fading, long one and it lasted for
more than 15 d.  The outburst is most likely
a superoutburst compared to the durations (5 d)
of ordinary outbursts and the presence of
the signature of superhumps.
