(fwd) NY Ser From vsnet-alert 5045: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 02:00:44 +0200 (MET DST) From: Daisaku Nogami <daisaku@uni-sw.gwdg.de> Subject: [vsnet-alert 5045] NY Ser Dear colleagues, Our spectroscopic observations of NY Ser (= PG 1510+234) at the Calar Alto Observatory are scheduled on the nights of July 08/09 and 09/10. Because it is quite important for us to know the state of NY Ser at our observations as accurately as possible, we would ask observers to make a close monitor of this star for ~1 month from now. NY Ser is a quite interesting star, since this star is considered to be the first SU UMa-type dwarf nova at the midst of the period gap and causes outbursts frequently, with a cycle of ~8 days (for more detail, see Nogami et al. 1998, PASJ 50, L1; Iida et al. 1995, IBVS No. 4208). A finding chart is available via the chart archives of VSNET: GIF chart; http://ftp.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/vsnet/charts/GIF/pg1510.gif or PG1510+234.ps under http://ftp.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/vsnet/charts/. Downes & Shara (1993, PASP 105, 127) also contains a finding chart as Ser1. I attach the photometric sequence of this star created by Arne Henden and Bruce Sumner, which is available from the URL: http://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/sequence/sumner/nyser.seq Thank you very much, Arne and Bruce!

One of these is included in the above sequence, and the other is included in the wide-colour extension (it was too red to include in the comparison star sequence). Details are as follows: CBA Henden V B-V C1 15.885 0.577 C2 16.776 1.494 The bluest star in the wide-colour extension has a large error, and may be a small amplitude variable. If used, it should be used with care. The rounded visual magnitudes in this sequence are identical to those of the preliminary one night sequence dated 21 June 1999. Bruce Sumner Revised 24 June 1999
