SN2003aw = helium dwarf nova?

   According to IAUC No. 8084, "SN2003aw" looks like to be a hydrogen-deficient
dwarf nova resembling KL Dra = SN1998di.  The duration of the current bright
state suggests a superoutburst, if this type classification is correct.
Further observations are naturally encouraged!

(From vsnet-campaign-sn 565)

SN2003aw  20030114.0  <210C  PAL
SN2003aw  20030206.26  178C  PAL
SN2003aw  20030210.0   176C  PAL
SN2003aw  20030219.0   178C  PAL

# SN 2003aw (9:05:54.79, -05:36:08.6 (J2000.0), almost superimposed on
# the nucleus (within 2")) is hosted by also a dim galaxy.
