[vsnet-alert 123] AL Com

[Steve Howell <howell@PSI.EDU>]

AL Com, now seen to be fading in the visual, is also following
suit in the IR. J,H,and K measures kindly obtained by John Davies
(UKIRT) show the following:

10 April 1000 UT  J=13.23 H=13.20 K=13.12
20 April 1121 UT  J=14.11 H=14.06 K=14.00

correlations with all the IR and optical data, as well as IUE and radio
obtained, will be of great benefit to our understanding of these
tremendous outburst amplitude dwarf novae. I thank again all the observers
worldwide who have participated in this campaign. Any further observations
of AL Com , including watching for the possible post-outburst brightening
seen previously in this and a few other TOADs, are still solicited.
Cheers,
Steve Howell
