[vsnet-campaign 658] RZ Leo rapid decline!

[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

RZ Leo rapid decline!

Dear Colleagues,

    The observations on Jan. 5 (S. Kiyota and the Kyoto team) confirmed
that the RZ Leo entered the rapidly fading stage.  The object was nearly
one mag fainter than the previous night.  This fading may be either
the termination of superoutburst, or temporary dip as observed in AL Com.
More detailed analysis is in progress.

    Observations are strongly urged at this very important moment!
Please don't give up if the object may look to faint for your equipment.
Continue observing as long as possible, just as the object is in outburst.
The a sifficient number of dark frames (at the same temperature of
actual observing) and necessary flat-field images to improve the image
quality.  The Kyoto team is readly to receive images for elaborate analysis,
if the object becomes too faint for ready-to-use photometry softwares.

Regards,
VSNET Collaboration team
