[vsnet-alert 257] outburst of DV Dra (cont'd)

[tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp]

   We have received more detailed (but preliminary) observations from
M. Iida.  His observations follow:

object         YYMMDD(UT)   mag  code
DRADV          951030.398   178  Arm.VSOLJ
DRADV          951030.405   175  Arm.VSOLJ
DRADV          951030.411   172  Arm.VSOLJ

(20cm refl. + ST-6 unfiltered)

   The data seem to show that the outburst is just in progress!  If this
object is actually a WZ Sge-type star, the current outburst may provide the
best opportunity in probing the still-enigmatic outburst physics of WZ Sge-
stars.

   Please keep a closer watch!

Regards,
Taichi Kato
