XZ Eri outburst (eclipsing system, SU UMa-type candidate) Dear Colleagues, Rod Stubbings reported that the eclipsing dwarf nova XZ Eri is undergoing an outburst. === Subject: [vsnet-outburst 5125] XZ Eri outburst XZ Eri is in outburst. ERIXZ 030127.476 150 Stu.RASNZ ERIXZ 030127.521 150 Stu.RASNZ === The object has an orbital period of 0.0612 d (Woudt and Warner 2001, MNRAS 328, 158). The object is thus most likely an SU UMa-type dwarf nova! Although the present magnitude is fainter than the past likely superoutbursts, the lack of recent outbursts makes the present outburst a good candidate for detailed photometric observations! Please observe the target as long as possible (preferably more than 2 orbital cycles). Use short exposure times (less than 1 min) to resolve eclipses. Observers with a larger aperture may try high-speed photometry, with exposure times less than 10s. XZ Eri is located at 04:11:25.76 -15:23:24.3 (J2000.0), so sufficient coverage can be expected even at medium northern latitudes. The object is now the prime target for the VSNET Collaboration!
