[vsnet-alert 6865] CC Cnc outburst (superoutburst?)

CC Cnc outburst (superoutburst?)

   As reported by Mike Simonsen (vsnet-outburst 3058), the SU UMa-type
dwarf nova CC Cnc is undergoing a bright outburst.

   CNCCC 011110.2118  13.2   SXN  OUTBURST

   The present outburst may be a superoutburst.  Since the superhump period
has not been precisely determined yet (cf. Kato and Nogami (1997) PASJ 49,
341), we would encourage time-series observations to precisely determine
the superhump period, superhump excess and the period change.  Since CI UMa
has mostly gone, this object will be a good morning target after the
1RXS J232953.9+062814 runs!  In spite of intesive observations, no firm
outburst was reported for this star during the 2000-2001 winter season.

   Beware of the presence of a companion when making estimates.

Regards,
Taichi Kato
