[vsnet-alert 3970] RX J0640-24 rapid fading



RX J0640-24 rapid fading

We started the second night's observation on RX J0640-24 
at 14:45 (UT).  Although our CCD image on display is hazy, 
the current magnitude seems to be 14mag, which 
indicates RX J0640-24 shows rapid fading.  It is possible 
that we see a precursor of superoutburst or an outburst of IPs.  
The follow-up observation is very encouraged to clarify the nature 
of this outburst.

Regards,
Makoto Uemura and Taichi Kato
