TCP J09370380+1657350: AL Com 2015 outburst-like event?
This 2025 outburst of TCP J09370380+1657350 has also been detected in ASASSN and ATLAS for the last ~10 days. https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/f03fb5ac-6b51-49d7-9d11-d8c783... https://fallingstar-data.com/forcedphot/queue/3415376/
The outburst maximum of ~15.7 mag is somewhat fainter than that of its 2021 superoutburst (13.5 mag at max) according to the VSX. With the short outburst cycle of ~4 years, it reminds the 2015 superoutburst of AL Com, which is also characterized by the ~1.5-year outburst cycle and 2-mag fainter outburst maximum. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016PASJ...68L...2K/abstract
