[vsnet-campaign 446] (fwd) V446 Her Campaign

[Daisaku Nogami <daisaku@uni-sw.gwdg.de>]

Dear colleagues, 
 
Since July, we are running an intensive campaign on the post nova
V446 Her (vsnet-campaign 325). As mentioned there, our interest
in this object arouse as it is one of the few post novae that also
shows regular dwarf nova outbursts. Hence, our aim is to compare
its outburst characteristics to those of ``normal'' dwarf novae.

Now, one and a half month later, we present a preliminary lightcurve
which you can find at
"http://alpha.uni-sw.gwdg.de/~mschrei/v446her/light.gif".

The light curve is very interesting, quite peculiar for a dwarf nova.  
However, we need additional observations to confirm this preliminary
result and to obtain a more detailed lightcurve.

Hence we again invite those of you equipped with a CCD camera to
obtain a couple of images of V446Her per night at least until the
end of September. Together we can rewrite the post nova scenario !!!

The resulting light curve will be published in a refereed journal,
including all contributors as co-authors. 

If you decide to join us, please consider the technical notes at the
end of  vsnet-campaign 325. 
 
Thank you very much for your attention, cheers and clear skies,
