[vsnet-alert 3308] V2051 Oph superoutburst

[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

V2051 Oph superoutburst

   The data kindly provided by Gordon Garradd (cf. vsnet-obs 22039)
indicates the current outburst of V2051 Oph is indeed a superoutburst.
The superhump structures up to amplitude 0.4 mag are visibile around
eclipse phases 0.5-0.6 in July 29 (so please continues observations outside
eclipses!).  The single eclipse caught on July 28 is highly asymmetric,
indicating the superhump light source was just asymmetrically eclipsed.
The present observation thus confirms the SU UMa-type signature of
this system, independently discovered by S. Kiyota and L. T. Jensen on
the 1998 May outburst occasion.
