The magnitude of the transient\nrelative to the reference star 6\" west has decayed to +2.60 +- 0.12,\ngiving K'=18.56 +- 0.12 (statistical error only).\nThis is a decay of 0.56 magnitudes since our preceding observation (on\nMarch 5.61 UT), and so the decay of the 2.1 micron flux continues to\naccelerate.  The K' band light curve is a considerably worse fit to any\npower law than the R band light curve.\n\nThis unusual behavior warrants closer investigation, and further followup\nat all wavelengths (especially the near-IR) is encouraged.",
