V803 Cen: standstill-like phase

      Gordon Myers, Josch Hambsch, Berto Monard, and Peter Starr
have reported new observations. The object has shown the
standstill-like phase since May 28 (or 29). The brightness gradually
increased from 13.4 to 13.0 V. The light curve shows superhump
with the period of 0.0187111(8) d. This value is almost the same
as the period in the oscillation phase of 0.0187118 (20) d.
     The oscillation phase continued for 15 days. This duration is 1.5 times
as long as the previous one. Further observations are encouraged
to confirm whether this difference affects the supercycle.
