[vsnet-alert 3171] SS UMi possible superoutburst



SS UMi possible superoutburst

  The SU UMa-type dwarf nova SS UMi is reported to be undergoing a bright
outburst.  The latest superoutburst occurred in this April (Muyllaert et al.
at mv=13.9).  If the present outburst is confirmed to be a genuine
superoutburst, this short recurrence time (~80 d) breaks the shortest record
of non-"ER UMa star" supercycles.  Observations are encouraged.
