CW Mon observations by Kiyota-san Dear Colleagues, Kiyota-san further reported Nov. 5 long observations of CW Mon. We have also received a successful report of observation at Okayama U. of Sci. (the team led by Tanabe-san). Kiyota-san's data show a further brightening of the object compared to the previous nights, when the "eclipse"-looking fadings were prominent. The new observation is dominated by (presumable) flickering, which was far less prominent on the preceding nights. Any eclipse-type faeture on Nov. 5 may have been hidden in these large-amplitude modulations. Considering the large brighteness increase, there may have been a dramatic change in the state of the accretion disk in these few days. As in U Gem, the eclipse and spot features may reappear as the progress of the outburst. Further continued observations are very strongly encouraged. Regards, Taichi Kato VSNET Collaboration team
