Sender: owner-vsnet@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Length: 542 Dip the light curve fo V485 Cen? Observations of V485 Cen from May 16/17 to May 23/24 made with 1.3-m Warsaw telescope at Las Campanas Observatory show linear decrease of brightness of the star with rate of 0.1 mag/day. Data collected on the last night (May 24/25) showed rapid change of the rate of decline. In comparison with the night of May 23/24 the star faded over 0.5 mag. Is this the a begnining of a dip observed during superoutburst of some WZ Sge stars, or rapid end of the superoutburst? A. Olech olech@sirius.astrouw.edu.pl
