1RXS J023238.8-371812: still active
The object is still active although ~20 days have passed
since the rapid fading from the outburst.

Since the quiescent counterpart of the object is proposed
to have 18th mag. (vsnet-alert 9620), the object keeps
the active state ~2 mag brighter than quiescence.
In normal SU UMa/WZ Sge systems, long fading tails are
observed after superoutbursts.
In J0232, no gradual fading trend can be seen.
This is a quite peculiar object.
