AQ Eri in superoutburst

 The UGSU type dwarf nova AQ Eri is probably undergoing a superoutburst.
 This star underwent a normal outburst only 16 days ago, and this normal
outburst might be a precursor of this superoutburst.
 AQ Eri also underwent a superoutburst in 2006 Dec., while this star showed
 a precursor a few days before that superoutburst. AQ Eri may be a system
which often shows precursors from any cause, orbital period for instance.
