[vsnet-alert 430] S10932 Com: Call for spectroscopy

[Peter.Kroll@STW.TU-Ilmenau.DE (Peter Kroll)]

Last night (96-Jun-05/06) I could measure S10932 Com between 19th and
20th magnitude for 2.5 hours. A reliable brightness estimation is almost
impossible since the star reaches the telescope limit.

Since S10932 Com continues to be in low state it would be extremely
important to get a spectrum of this star. Here, at Sonneberg
Observatory, we are not able to receive a spectrum with our own
instruments. 

Spectroscopic observations of S 10932 in its normal state by Greiner
(see Richter et al., Astron. Astrophys., in prep.) show strong
emission lines of H_\alpha, H_\beta, H_\gamma, H_\delta and HeI 5876
with distinct double peaks indicating the existence of an accretion
disk. 

It would be very helpful if somebody could perform spectroscopic
observations of this star (NOW!). Photographic observations by Richter
(s. above) indicate that low state phases may last days or weeks. The
current state might be over tomorrow!

Who can help? Who knows somebody else who can help?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Peter Kroll
