[vsnet-alert 9157] AQ Eri fading more rapidly?

[Taichi Kato]

   According to Mike Linnolt, AQ Eri has been fading more rapidly
than before.  Although independent confirmation is needed,
it would be noteworthy if a clear precursor fails to trigger
a usual superoutburst.  Reports on the detection of superhumps
are still rather inconclusive, possibly suggesting the weak
development of tidal instability.  Time-resolved photometry is
still wanted.
