Re: 1RXP J113123+4322.5 in outburst Dear Patrick and Colleagues, > 1RXPJ113123+4322.5 20030309.92 <140 Scp Henden/Sumner sequence > 1RXPJ113123+4322.5 20030313.101 129 Scp > > The only previously observed outburst of this SU UMa-type dwarf nova > was detected by Pavol Dubovsky on 2002 Mar 5.988 UT at mv= 13.5 > (vsnet-alert 7221). Congratulations! Ths object has a superhump period of 0.06495 d, as determined from the 2002 superoutburst. The current outburst very much looks like a superoutburst, and is a very promising midnight target for long time-series observations! There was slight evidence of a (re)brightening toward the end of the 2002 superoutburst, which needs to be examined during the current outburst. Please note that the object has a close companion. The best midnight target for the VSNET Collaboration (northern observers)! [We must also note that the next superoutburst of IY UMa may be due. Please carefully monitor the likely coming outburst]. Regards, Taichi Kato VSNET Collaboration team
