Optical/X-ray flux diagram showing the post-superoutburst data and some representative data-points from the optical rise (shown in blue) and late plateau stages of SSS J122222. The dashed lines show the assumed trends of flux changes during the optical rise (blue) and rapid fading (red). The red short-dashed line shows the linear fit to the data from the post-outburst decline stage. The brightest X-ray data-point (T = 38.1) and the quiescence fluxes are seen to lie off the linear dependence.
