(fwd) Re: [vsnet-campaign 415] V1504 Cyg atypically increased outburst activity From: "Elena Pavlenko" <pavlenko@crao.crimea.ua> To: "Taichi Kato" <tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp> Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2000 12:14:32 +0300 Dear colleagues, Just now I am working on the paper on V1504 Cyg, which is based on the old observations and present ones, have been carried out our crimean team. The behaviour of this star is really unusial. After the July superoutburst, accordingly to our observations, it displayed the smoothly lenghtening outburst interval from 6 to 9 days. The only time interval when we had not observations was Aug 1-4, and exactly that time (see vsnet campaign 415) at least one, or, may be, two outbursts occured. The typical outburst interval for V1504 Cyg is *accepted* as 11d (D. Nogami and S. Masuda, IBVS 4532), however, there is also information on another intervals (7-19 days, see Uljanikhina and Shugarov, Astronomical and Astrophysical Transactions, 1995, 9, 43 and references therein). The mention of the shortest outburst interval (3days) is given by Grocker (JAAVSO, 7,73, 1978). The outburst that was detected by Reszelski and Poyner occured just 3 days later the previous one ( July, 29 )! The mean brightness level between outbursts is also variable: from 17.5 up to 16.5 and these *unpredictable* short outbursts occured in hugher quiescent level. It is important to monitor the V1504 Cyg through all the superoutburst cycle (up to the middle of October) in order to study the outbursts activity.
