RZ LMi: faded to quiescence
Crimean Astrophys. Obs. team (N. Pit, relayed by
E. Pavlenko), Shugarov's team (S.Shugarov, V.Krushevska),
Itoh-san and Geoff Stone have reported new observations.
The object rapidly faded on Mar. 29-30. This means
that the long standstill-like phase was an elongated
superoutburst plateau. The object will undergo one or
two normal outbursts in coming days, and will undergo
another superoutburst soon. During this phase, we have
a chance to detect stage A superhumps. The next several
days will become extremely important and continuous
time-resolved photometry (from all longitudes) is
requested. The present behavior is consistent with
Osaki's thermal-tidal disk instability model at
a very high mass-transfer rate.
