[vsnet-alert 46] OUTBURST OF DV UMa



Dear Colleagues,

Tonny Vanmunster (Landen, Belgium) reports an extremely 
rare outburst of DV UMa.  The observation has been 
confirmed by G. Poyner (Birmingham, England)....

Feb 25.844 UT              mv= <15.2   Poyner  40cm
    26.826                      14.6   Vanmunster  35cm
    26.840                      14.7   Poyner

TA Sequence 941025 used in all observations.

This star is on the recurrent objects programme of the UK 
Nova/ Supernovae patrol.  Our database indicates that two
outbursts have been observed in the past..

1946  Feb 14  mag 14.5
1953  Feb 13      14.6

If anyone has more historical information on outbursts, 
we would be very interested to hear it.

Needless to say, further photometry would be most useful.

Regards,
Gary Poyner
