GW Lib: regrowth of optical humps

Superhumps were still seen in the infrared (J-band) light curve on 8 May.
In contrast to the light curves on 7 May, the optical superhumps again
became prominent on 8 May.

The behavior of the superhumps is apparently same in the optical 
and infrared observations. The regrowth of the optical humps may be 
interpreted by an inward propagation of a cooling wave in an 
eccentric accretion disk.

The humps had clear double-peak profiles on 8 May. 
The phase was rapidly shifted from those observed on 7 May.
