RX J0944.5+0357 outburst confirmed, time-series photometry by Kiyota
Dear Colleagues,
The first-ever outburst of RX J0944.5+0357, reported by T. Watanabe,
has been confirmed by S. Kiyota (Tsukuba, Japan), who reported
a representative V-magnitude of 14.07 on 2000 Jan. 5.580 UT. He also
reported 2.5-hour time-series photometry, which shows small-amplitude
irregular fluctuations superimposed on a gradual fading. There was no
superhump-like modulation up to an amplitude of 0.1 mag. The object is
likely a long-period system, or the outburst is a normal outburst.
Further observations are encouraged to clarify the nature of the object.
Regards,
VSNET Collaboration team
