[vsnet-alert 4002] CT Hya outburst

[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

CT Hya outburst

  The SU UMa-type dwarf nova CT Hya is in outburst, as indicated by the
following observations.  The latest superoutburst of CT Hya occurred in
1999 Februrary, when a campaign was conducted by the Kyoto team, Rudolf
Novak and Seiichiro Kiyota (IBVS 4974).  There remained an unsolved phase
shift of a superhump during this run (see IBVS 4794).

  Observers are encouraged to monitor this object to see whether the present
outburst is also a superoutburst.  If not, this will provide the first-time
opportunity to get time-resolved photometry of a normal outburst of this
object.

  The Kyoto team may observe the target, depending on the priority of other
targets.
