*** VSNET campaign selected current target list 2003 May 10 ***
Object Class Position Type State Data Remark

====================================================================
* Class: 1 = primary target, 2 = secondary target, 3 = optional target
* Data: data request, 1 = VSNET core team, data will be received by
campaign report list. 2 = as above, in collaboration with
Hachisu-san.
Two priority targets OU Vir (mag about 15) and RX Vol (mag about 15)
are unchanged. Both targets are active. V2527 Oph faded, and removed
from the target list (unless it rebrightens).
(1) TV Crv: possible superoutburst of a large-amplitude SU UMa star.
Would be an excellent target if OU Vir is too faint. If it is indeed
superoutbursting, early superhump-like variation and super-QPOs are
the main observing targets, as well as superhump evolution.
(2) IM Nor: If possible, take time-series longer than 3 hours (to cover
at least one "eclipse"). Take at least a few eclipses before the
moonlight becomes overwhelming.
(3) V729 Sgr: eclipsing dwarf nova. Eclipse observation during outburst
is wanted.

(4) IY UMa: outburst missed or long overdue? If the outburst occurs,
please observe it from the very beginning of the outburst.
(potential target of opportunity).
(5) AD Men: the identification has been corrected. See
http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/DNe/admen.html (star A = AD Men)
and resubmit observations if you measured a different star (likely
star B) in the past campaigns. Not particularly selected as the
current campaign target.
Please closely watch vsnet-alert and vsnet-outburst for other new
outbursts.

*** Notice ***
This list is "read-only", i.e. it is used only for announcement of
the target lists. Other information, as well as reports and discussions
on particular targets, should be directed to the appropriate VSNET campaign
sub-lists (e.g. vsnet-campaign-dn for dwarf novae).
We have also set up a separate list for "privately" receiving
campaign observations. Nightly time-series observations, which have been
report to me, Ishioka-san or Uemura-san, should be now directed to

vsnet-campaign-report@ooruri.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp
---------------------------------------------------
Reports sent to this address will be delivered to the VSNET campaign
local staffs, including Ishioka-san, Uemura-san and me, and are expected
to be more convenient than personal e-mails to separate addresses.
