VW CrB: superoutburst terminated

The superoutburst of VW CrB had been terminated by a rapid 
fading on 14 Apr.

We found that the color got re-bluer in the latter half 
of the superoutburst plateau, as can be seen in the above page. 
It is rare that such a behavior is clearly observed in 
our TRISPEC observation of dwarf novae. 
While we have no time-series data, the re-bluer phase may 
be related to a superhump regrowth phase 
(e.g. Kato et al., 2003, PASJ, 55, 989;
