Now that you bring this up, I admit I was wondering about these kinds of things too. From the quick look: 1140-03 TW VIR APR 27.4650 2452756.965 <14.8 SRX 1140-03 TW VIR APR 28.1986 2452757.6986 14.4 SXN Y 1140-03 TW VIR APR 28.2520 2452757.752 <17.0 JM CCDV Who's right? Then, it did really go up about May 01/02. Yet, I was also in the same boat on QW SER recently: 1521+08 QW SER MAY 15.0400 2452774.54 <14.4 PYG 1521+08 QW SER MAY 15.3785 2452774.8785 <14.2 LMK BM 1521+08 QW SER MAY 16.4271 2452775.9271 12.8 LMK BMY 1521+08 QW SER MAY 18.1750 2452777.6750 <14.6 SXN But, it never "went up", or was that the shorter ones on record? I cant imagine I mistook that one, because I definitely remeber I saw both QW and the nearby 134 comp. So, something is itching me to know if there is any possible such behavior of CV's - that is a pre-outburst blip or momentary surge? Anybody know of any unsolved incidents like these in the past?
