[vsnet-alert 320] LY Hya outburst

This note is to infoirm the vsnet observers that the sespected outburst of LY
Hya was an error. The star is listed in various places with some giving a magnitude
limit of 14-18 and others (which are more easily obtained such as the downes and
shara catalogue), list it simply as 17-18. The error occured when I asked
via email to the Belgium Variable Star Group, simply for information they might have on
any actual outburst ever seen for this star. That message was then confused as
a message stating that LY Hya was currently in outburst.
so to repeat -- THERE IS CURRENTLY NO OUTBURST OF LY HYA
This star is a suspected SU UMa star and it should however be monitored for any outbursts
which may occur in the future.
