[vsnet-campaign-xray 42] XTE J1118+480: no prominent rebrightening

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

Dear colleagues,

  We observed XTE J1118+480 last night (August 23) at Kyoto.  
From the data after reduction, I found the magnitude to be 16.16 +/- 0.57mag 
(N=38), which is comparable to that on one week ago (HJD 2451771, 16.23 
+/- 0.06mag). 

  In [vsnet-campaign-xray 41], I noticed a possible rebrightening of this 
object, but in conjunction with the data last night, the object seems to 
show no prominent rebrightening, while the current magnitude is slightly 
brighter than that reported by Nyrola team.

  From recent observations at Kyoto, the decline trend has become more 
gradual.  The object is now faint, but still brighter than the quiescent state.
Observations are encouraged.

  We are now having a run on this object under clear sky.

Regards,
Makoto Uemura
