Two new lists on IPs The following two new VSNET lists dedicated to intermediate polars (IPs) have become available. Dear Colleagues, We have set up a new list, vsnet-ip, as a sub-list of vsnet-nl and partly other recent lists. The new list treats noteworthy activities of intermediate polars (IPs), which are not well covered by vsnet-nl, vsnet-polar and other CV-related lists. The other list vsnet-campaign-ip focuses on time-resolved spin observations of IPs by the VSNET collaboration team. event report regular recent data summary ----------------------------------------------------------------- dwarf novae vsnet-outburst vsnet-recent vsnet-cvcirc novae vsnet-campaign-nova vsnet-recent vsnet-cvcirc polars vsnet-polar vsnet-recent vsnet-cvcirc IPs vsnet-ip vsnet-recent vsnet-cvcirc other CVs vsnet-nl vsnet-recent vsnet-cvcirc The list is rather strictly restricted for the follow-up usage. Important notifications (such as discovery of outburst/fading, dramatic changes, important progress, call for urgent observations etc.) should be also directed to vsnet-alert as before. Individual (regular) observations should be sent to vsnet-obs as before. For discussions of general interest, please use vsnet-chat. Targets of the VSNET Collaboration will be treated in vsnet-campaign. VSNET administrators may forward such messages to other VSNET lists when necessary. The initial list of vsnet-ip includes members of vsnet-nl. If one wish to subscribe or unsubscribe to vsnet-ip, please send a message to vsnet-adm, with a text line SUBSCRIBE vsnet-ip your e-mail address or UNSUBSCRIBE vsnet-ip your e-mail address Please feel free to distribute this message to interested parties or persons who may be interested in this field of variable stars. Regards, Taichi Kato on behalf of the VSNET administrator team --- New list: vsnet-campaign-ip Dear Colleagues, We have set up a new list, vsnet-campaign-ip, as a sub-list of vsnet-campaign, which has been used to exchange messages between VSNET collaboration members in conducting VSNET campaigns, esp. cataclysmic variables (CVs), X-ray transient outbursts and other explosive objects like novae and supernovae. The new list "vsnet-campaign-ip" is totally devoted to dedicated campaigns of intermediate polars (IPs), particularly for intensive spin period observations, which are announced on the main vsnet-campaign list. The list is rather strictly restricted for the campaign usage. Although we don't put strict control over the sender's preference of the list (vsnet-campaign and vsnet-campaign-ip), detailed follow-up observations (nightly progress, outburst state update etc.) should be more directed to this vsnet-campign-ip list. Notifications among the collaboration team, introduction of new targets, regular Weekly Summaries will be posted to vsnet-campaign, so that all collaboration members (not always dwarf nova observers) can have a chance to know the change. Of course, important notifications (such as discoveries, noteworthy changes in the campaign targets, important progress, call for new observations etc.) should be directed to vsnet-alert as before. For discussions of general interest, please use vsnet-chat as before. VSNET administrators may forward such messages to other VSNET lists when necessary. The initial list of vsnet-campaign-ip includes members of vsnet-campaign. If one wish to subscribe or unsubscribe to vsnet-campaign-dn, please send a message to vsnet-adm, with a text line SUBSCRIBE vsnet-campaign-ip your e-mail address or UNSUBSCRIBE vsnet-campaign-ip your e-mail address Please feel free to distribute this message to interested parties or persons who may be interested in VSNET collaboration project.
