S10932 [UG:+E, 13.4 - 18.5p]
============================

This interesting eclipsing dwarf nova (CVAP object) has been monitored 
in close detail during its past outburst (announced in CVC 77). It
seems this was a normal outburst, given the short duration and rapid
fading, and the apparent lack of superhump observations.

Observed eclipses sometimes were very deep (up to 3.2 mag V, as reported
by T. Kato and the Ouda Team, Kyoto University, Japan). This is one of
the deepest known eclipse amplitudes known among outbursting dwarf
novae. Kato further measured the duration of eclipses (which is nearly
10 minutes). Similar deep eclipses were also reported by German astronomers
Peter Kroll and Gerold Richter of Sonneberg Observatory, who measured an
amplitude of about 4.4 mag (R band).

We received following observations of S10932 :

A serious effort was made by Kato and his team to determine the precise 
mid-eclipse times of S10932. The following ephemeris has been derived after 
many successive refinements. It was published in a VSNET message dd. 
January 10, 1996 :
                     Min.HJD = 2441798.44270 + 0.08703867378 E'


Shortly before, Peter Kroll and Gerold A. Richter of Sonneberg Observatory,
Germany, announced in a January 9, 1996 VSNET message : "The current out-
burst of S10932 led us to (re)analyse CCD observations made at Sonneberg
Observatory with a 60-cm-Cassegrain telescope from 1994, May 11 to 1996, 
Jan 04. Eclipsing times published in "Wenzel, Richter, Luthardt, Schwartz:
IBVS 4182" are now improved. 
Using these minima times, which are distributed over more than 20 years, 
and the eclipsing times published on VSNET by Taichi Kato & Ouda team, we 
could derive the following ephemerides: Min (HJD) = J.D. 2449486.48166 +
0.0870386727 * E".


V701 Tau [UGSU, 15.0p - <21p]
=============================

This is another interesting CVAP object, that recently was discovered in
outburst (see CVC 76). The photometric summary below concludes our
monitoring action of this variable. It probably is for the first time in 
the history of V701 Tau that such an intensive photometry took place.

FS Aur [UGZ:, 14.4v - 16.2v]
============================

We received two additional observations, related to the December 1995
outburst of FS Aur (CVC 74) :

1996 01 01.422 UT,  16.8 (M. Iida, Japan, 20-cm refl.+CCD, unfiltered);
     01 01.442 UT,  15.6 (M. Iida);


UNCONFIRMED OUTBURST OBSERVATIONS
=================================

Two CVAP objects recently have been reported in outburst, for which
insufficient confirmative observations were available to generate a CVC.
It concerns :

  TW Tri [UGZ, 13.3p - 17.0p]
  ---------------------------
  Reported in outburst by M. Iida, Japan, on 1996, January 1.445 UT,
  using a 20-cm reflector with CCD (unfiltered), at mag 14.9.
  The previous outburst of TW Tri was also detected by M. Iida, on 1995,
  November 12 (CVC 70). The following visual observation, reported by M.
  Moriyama, Japan relates to that outburst : 1995 Nov 15.588 UT, 14.2:


  TU Tri [UG, 14.8p - <18.0p]
  ---------------------------
  Also detected in outburst by Makoto Iida, Nagano, Japan, who recorded it
  on an unfiltered CCD image on 1996, Jan. 1.455 UT at mag. 15.8. 
  We have created a GSC-based sequence (and corresponding large scale finder 
  chart) of TU Tri, which you may obtain at the Cataclysmic Variables Home 
  Page.
