[vsnet-alert 2854] Outburst of TmzV34 = RXJ0915.8+0900



Outburst of TmzV34 = RXJ0915.8+0900

  T. Watanabe (Shizuoka, Japan) reports the detection of the (first-ever
visually observed) outburst of TmzV34 = RXJ0915.8+0900.

  The object was first detected by ROSAT, whose optical identification
as an cataclysmic variable was given in "The Hamburg/RASS Catalogue of
Optical Identifications" (see also vsnet 1361
  http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/Mail/vsnet/msg01361.html ).
  The variability of this star was independently discovered (TmzV34) by
K. Takamizawa (Nagano, Japan), who, although initially suggested the
irregular (L) type variability, detected the 1994 Nov. 30 outburst
(at mag 13.1, vsnet-obs 10504,
  http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/Mail/obs10000/msg00504.html
).

  YYMMDD(UT)   mag  observer
  990407.616  <134  (T. Watanabe)
  990408.596   136  (T. Watanabe)

  Further observations of the present, and future outbursts of this object
is strongly encouraged.
