[vsnet-alert 363] finding charts and sequence of VZ Pyx

[Taichi Kato <tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp>]

   In response to Berto Monard's discovery of an outburst of VZ Pyx,
we have prepared a WWW page of VZ Pyx containing finding charts from
kappa Pyx to its vicinity, and a close-up chart containing the VSNET
sequence derived from T Pyx field.

   The URL is:

   http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/DNe/vzpyx.html

  (or http://ftp.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/vsnet/DNe/VZ_Pyx for GIF files)

   VZ Pyx is located at 08h 59m 19s.95 -24o 28' 55".7 (J2000.0) = Pyx1
in the atlas of Downes & Shara (1993).  This cataclysmic variable has
an orbital period of 0.075 day (thus a good candidate for an SU UMa star),
showing properties of an intermediate polar (Pspin = 3108s).
