[vsnet-campaign-xray 36] XTE J1118+480 recent trend

[Makoto Uemura <uemura@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp>]

Dear colleagues,

  During the last twenty days, the Kyoto team obtained about 470 images 
of XTE J1118+480.  I performed period analysis but no prominent signal 
was detected.  The rapid decline trend apparently continued till August 5, 
but, when I see the data on August 6 and 10, which was observed under 
bad weather, this decline trend seems to be stopped: the magnitude on  
August 6 is 0.09mag brighter than that on August 5 and the magnitude
on August 10 is 0.06mag brighter than that on August 6.  Due to the 
bad weather, it is possible that the last data is erroneous.
However the confirmation of the current magnitude is urgently needed. 

Regards,
Makoto Uemura
on behalf of VSNET XTE J1118+480 collaboration team
