ASASSN-18rg: rebrightening with modulations

     Osaka Kyoiku U. team, Geoff Stone, Josch Hambsch, Tonny Vanmunster and
Itoh-san reported further observations. As reported by Pavol A. Dubovsk in
vsnet-alert 22545, the object underwent a rebrightening from about 17 to 14.5
mag. Before the rebrightening, superhump was attenuated to undetectable levels. However, we can see some modulations during the rebrightening. The likely period
is 0.0314(2) d and the amplitude is about 0.03 mag. It might be orbital modulations.
     Further observations are encouraged to obtain a more accurate period and
monitor the next behavior.
