CU Vel outburst: call for time-resolved photometry As reported in [vsnet-outburst 4872], the SU UMa-type dwarf nova CU Vel is in outburst. === CU Vel in outburst VELCU 021210.507 108 Stu.RASNZ VELCU 021210.521 108 Stu.RASNZ Regards, Rod Stubbings === Surprizingly, no solid publication exists on the superhump observation of CU Vel. Although the present outburst may be yet premature to determine its nature, the long lack of outbursts preceding this outburst may suggest a superoutburst. Please make intensive time-series observations to obtain the (potentially first) full coverage of an outburst of this object. The generally adopted superhump period is 0.07999 d. This period would be a good measure for the required minimal length (2-3 superhump periods) of the nightly runs. Regards, Taichi Kato VSNET Collaboration team
