AD Men outburst - observation needed! As reported by Rod Stubbings, the dwarf nova AD Men is undergoing a bright outburst. This is the first outburst of this star reported to VSNET. The present brightness already surpasses the maximum value in the literature. Since this field is very crowded, the minimum identification may not be certain. We therefore encourage time-resolved photometry (several hours per night) to examine the presence of any modulations. The object is also known as a ROSAT X-ray source. We would be happy to receive selected CCD images (in FITS format) in outburst. The images will be examined for astrometry and quiescent identification by Yamaoka-san (yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp). The nominal position in the catalog is 06:04:28.60 -71:25:15.6 (J2000.0) YYYYMMDD(UT) mag observer 20030304.499 <148 (Rod Stubbings) 20030305.516 <148 (Rod Stubbings) 20030306.483 <148 (Rod Stubbings) 20030312.469 <140 (Rod Stubbings) 20030322.437 <148 (Rod Stubbings) 20030323.467 <150 (Rod Stubbings) 20030324.421 140 (Rod Stubbings) 20030324.433 140 (Rod Stubbings) 20030324.449 140 (Rod Stubbings) 20030324.492 140 (Rod Stubbings) 20030325.433 141 (Rod Stubbings) 20030325.465 141 (Rod Stubbings) Regards, Taichi Kato VSNET Collaboration team
