[vsnet-campaign 676] UV Per rebrightening

UV Per rebrightening

   Yet another rebrightening!!

   The Kyoto data on Dec. 11 and the following Kinnunen's data have not
shown a clear evidence of brightening on the night of Dec. 11.  The object
was recorded at the similar magnitude as on Dec. 10 (above quiescence).

   The interval between the fading from the main superoutburst and
the rebrightening is about 7 days, which is a relatively typical value
for SU UMa-type rebrightening.  However, the discrimination from the very
rare examples such as the 1978 superoutburst of WZ Sge, the 1995
superoutburst of AL Com and the 1997 superoutburst of V2176 Cyg
(USNO1425.09823278), needs to be confirmed.  Because of the low frequency
of outbursts, the rebrightenings of UV Per have not been well recorded
with modern devices; we strongly urge observers to monitor this object
closely until the final quiescence is reached.
