CI Aql fading CCD observations by the VSNET collaboration team (cf. vsnet-campaign) indicate that the recurrent nova CI Aql is again fading. Selected nightly avaraged data from Kyoto observations: YYYYMMDD(UT) V-C err N ---------------------------------- 20000514.795 -0.549 0.033 47 C 20000515.769 -0.808 0.019 255 C 20000520.773 0.170 0.028 136 C The object has faded by 1.0 mag in these five days. In addition to the already suggested short-term modulations, there seem to be a longer period oscillations (with a timescale of ~10 days), superimposed on the nova fading. Further observations are strongly encouraged. Regards, Taichi Kato VSNET Collaboration team
