XZ Eri: superhumps and eclipses on 5 Nov.

  We performed time-series observations on 5 Nov. 
and obtained V- and J-band light curves, as shown in 
the following page:

In the figure, eclipses can be seen at ~0.694 (UT) and ~0.755 (UT). Superhumps apparently have a double-peak structure with a small dip.

The V-J color is ~0.4, atypically red for dwarf novae in outburst. 
This is probably due to a high inclination angle of XZ Eri.
