[vsnet-alert 495] superoutburst of RZ Sge

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

  The SU UMa-type dwarf nova RZ Sge is apparently undergoing a superoutburst
as indicated by the following observations extracted from vsnet-obs reports.

1996 Aug.
           2.950   <14.5  J. S. Day
           3.016   <14.5  G. Poyner
           3.959   <14.5  J. S. Day
           3.974   <15.3  M. Biesmans
           4.958   <14.5  J. S. Day (VSNET seq.)
           4.975   <14.0  G. Poyner
           5.0229   14.5  M. Biesmans (AAVSO seq.)
           5.0292   13.9  M. Biesmans (VSNET seq.)
           5.86     12.1  J. Pietz
           5.9451   12.2  M. Biesmans (AAVSO seq.)

  Since the outburst was caught during the very early stage of the outburst,
observataions of the early development of superhumps (and maybe searchs for
super-QPOs) might be fruitful.  The last reported outburst of this
dwarf nova occurred on 1995 Oct. 21.
