[vsnet-alert 2839] Superoutburst of AQ Eri

[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

Superoutburst of AQ Eri

   The SU UMa-type dwarf nova AQ Eri is definitely undergoing a superoutburst
as indicated by the following observations.  The latest reported (likely)
superoutburst occurred in 1997 August (mv=13.0, Stubbings).  Although the
season looks a little too late for determining the superhump period, follow-up
observations of the rather rather superoutburst of AQ Eri will be meaningful.
