AY Lac is a cataclysmic variable According to IBVS No. 5441, Kroll et al. concluded that AY Lac is most likely a cataclysmic variable, by confirming the outburst detection on the archival plates. They suggested that the object may be either a recurrent nova or a WZ Sge-like object. Since this object has been regularly monitored by the VSNET members, there won't be a special need for stressing its importance, but the chart presented in IBVS 5441 would be helpful for securely locating the object. The sequence is available in [vsnet-id 293]. Regards, Taichi Kato
