KV Dra outburst According to Eddy Muyllaert, the SU UMa-type dwarf nova KV Dra is in outburst. Although the current magnitude is fainter than those of past superoutbursts, the object may deserve further observations because of its unusual outburst properties (see also Nogami et al. 2000 A&A 701, 2000). The last superoutburst was in 2002 September, which was fairly weel observed by the VSNET Collaboration. YYYYMMDD(UT) mag observer 20030529.922 <142 (Eddy Muyllaert) 20030529.951 <148 (Pavol A.
