*** VSNET campaign selected current target list 2003 May 21 ***
Object Class Position Type State Data Remark
====================================================================

RX Vol 2 southern UGSU probably faded 1 (4)
rebrightening awaited
MV Lyr 3 northern NL(VY) extremely bright 1 (5)
====================================================================
* 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.
(1) V660 Her: likely superoutburst of an SU UMa star. Good location
for long observation!
(2) OU Vir: fading stopped or even brightened! Still a good target!
We are also collectingdata on the new variable star (see
vsnet-chat 6292: new eclipsing star in the OU Vir field
= USNO B1.0 0892-0239905. This object is certainly a W UMa-type
eclipsing binary. If you have data, send them to vsnet-campaign-report
(preferably in separate reports from OU Vir submissions).
(3) TV Crv: superoutburst terminal stage. Will fade soon?
(4) RX Vol: watch if it rebrightens.
(5) MV Lyr: brightest in the recent decade(s). Would be a good target
(for late hours) for northern telescopes on these bright nights.
Continued optional target (of potential opportunity): IY UMa
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.
