[vsnet-alert 942] superoutburst of SS UMi

[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

   The SU UMa-type dwarf nova SS UMi is apparently undergoing a superoutburst
as suggested in [vsnet-obs 5853]
(http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/Mail/vsnet-obs/msg05853.html).

Observations:

  YYMMDD(UT)   mag  observer
  970518.430  <147  (G. Hanson)
  970519.401  <147  (G. Hanson)
  970519.976  <147  (G. Poyner)
  970522.205  <147  (G. Hanson)
  970523.985   145  (G. Poyner)
  970524.185   148  (G. Hanson)
  970524.965   144  (G. Poyner)
  970525.178   151  (G. Hanson)
  970525.512   140  (T. Watanabe)
  970525.985   141  (G. Poyner)
  970526.197   142  (G. Hanson)
  970527.164   139  (G. Hanson)

   The observation on May 25.178 by G. Hanson may indicate a dip following
the triggering normal outburst (cf. T Leo this year,
http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/DNe/tleo.html).

   The last superoutburst of this object was observed in 1996 Apr.
Observations are encouraged.
