[vsnet-alert 7588] Var73 Dra outburst again!



Var73 Dra outburst again!

Dear Colleagues,

    From the Kyoto observation last night (observers: R. Ishioka and
M. Uemura), the SU UMa-type dwarf nova Var73 Dra is confirmed to be
undergoing another outburst.  The brightness is comparable to that of
the October superoutburst.  If the present outburst turns out to be a
superoutburst, Var73 Dra may become the first object having a supercycle
length between usual SU UMa stars and ER UMa stars.  Although the season
is slightly late, we encourage further follow-up observations of the
current outburst.  Even nightly snapshot observations would be very
helpful in determining the properties of this outburst.  Please send
your observations to the VSNET Collaboration team.

    Happy observing!

Regards,
Taichi Kato
VSNET Collaboration team
