[vsnet-alert 4194] SW UMa outburst confirmed

SW UMa outburst confirmed

Dear Colleagues,

    We have just confirmed the rare outburst of SW UMa.  The object has
been observed at around mag 11.  The present brightness may be indicative
that the object is on the premaximum halt (or precursor) to the final rise,
or that the present outburst can be either faint superoutburst or a normal
outburst.  The interval exceeding two years since the latest superoutburst
may more prefer the first interpretation.  Observations are very strongly
encouraged.

Regards,
Taichi Kato and Makoto Uemura
