[vsnet-obs 39523] L2 Puppis got crazy



Yesterday I sent a message to vsnet-obs but not to chat.
So here I am again, astonished by the strength of the brightening of L2
Puppis (first reported by Peter Williams and Raquel Shida).
There has been several periods in action resulting in a strange-shaped
lightcurve
(see http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Curva_L2_Pup.htm) but now it looks like
those periods are acting up together giving this impressive result: the star
is rising more than 0.1 mag. a day !!

My last observation is:

PUPL2       20020418.986    54    OSE

Already reported observations were:


20020403.993     68
20020406.014     66
20020417.973     55

The star hasn't been this bright since June 2000.

Cheers,
Sebastian.
