A self-consistent analysis of near-UV, HST/FOC images of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4552 is used to show that its central spike has brightened by a factor similar to 4.5 between 1991 and 1993, and has decreased its luminositv by a factor similar to 2.0 between 1993 and 1996. A strong UV continuum ove...
