VSNET Weekly Campaign Summary

*** Last week news ***

(new targets)
  RX And		(RA = 01h04m35s.55, Dec = +41d17'58".0)

    A possible beginning of a standstill was suspected  
  (vsnet-campaign-dn 2644), but P. Schmeer reported 13.9mag 
  on July 19 which indicates the object is not in a standstill 
  (vsnet-campaign-dn 2653, 2654).


  V630 Cyg		(RA = 21h34m59s.21, Dec = +40d40'18".5)

    An outburst (14.9mag) was detected by M. Simonsen on July 13.  
  The outburst was confirmed on July 14 and 15 without rapid 
  fading.  It may be a superoutburst (vsnet-campaign-dn 2647).


  TU Crt		(RA = 11h03m36s.50, Dec = -21d37'45".6)

    As reported by R. Stubbings on July 18, the SU UMa-type dwarf 
  nova TU Crt experienced an outburst (12.6mag).  The last reported 
  superoutburst was in 2001 April (vsnet-campaign-dn 2651).


  ES Aql		(RA = 19h32m21s.58, Dec = -00d11'31".2)

    Reported observations show the object entered 12th mag, which 
  may indicate a slow fading of the object (vsnet-campaign-rcb 49).


(continuous targets) 
  V1141 Aql		(RA = 19h37m10s.01, Dec = +02d35'59".2)

    The object is fading from superoutburst (vsnet-campaign-dn 2645).


  V1504 Cyg             (RA = 19h28m55.87s, Dec = +43d05'39".9)

    The object was reported to be bright at about 15mag during July 
  13-16, which may indicate a superoutburst (vsnet-campaign-dn 2643).


  V348 Sgr		(RA = 18h40m19s.94, Dec = -22d54'29".1)

    The bright state at about 13.2mag still continues 
  (vsnet-campaign-rcb 48).


  omicron Cet		(RA = 02h19m20s.67, Dec = -02d58'27".1) 

    A further brightening to 3.4mag was reported 
  (vsnet-campaign-mira 27).


  MV Lyr		(RA = 19h07m15s.93, Dec = +44d01'10".7)

    The object is still faint (vsnet-campaign-nl 93).


  PU Vul		(RA = 20h21m13s.30, Dec = +21d34'18".0)

    The faint state at about 12mag continues (vsnet-campaign-symbio 22).


  V1008 Her		(RA = 18h05m46s.31, Dec = +31d40'18".1)

    The fading from outburst was observed (vsnet-campaign-dn 2649).


  V503 Cyg		(RA = 20h27m15s.61, Dec = +43d41'45".5)

    A new outburst to 14.3mag was detected on July 19.  
  The recurrence time of recent outbursts is unusually short 
  (vsnet-campaign-dn 2655, 2656).


  V4641 Sgr		(RA = 18h19m21s.6, Dec = -25d24'25")

    While moderate variations seem to be present, no short 
  "flash"-like flare was observed until July 18 when M. Linnolt 
  reported a small flare to 12.7mag (vsnet-campaign-v4641sgr 146, 
  148, 149, 150, 151, 152).  The light curves on July 16 obtained 
  by S. Kiyota and K. Torii also show a number of sudden 
  brightenings by ~0.5 mag, which look like real as compared with 
  error statistics (vsnet-campaign-v4641sgr 153, 154).  No 
  short-term variation has been reported after those observations 
  (vsnet-campaign-v4641sgr 155, 156). 
 
 
  DY Per		(RA = 02h35m17s.12, Dec = +56d08'44".7)

    The faint state at about 13.8-13.9mag continues 
  (vsnet-campaign-rcb 47).


  V803 Cen		(RA = 13h23m44.5s, Dec = -41d44'30".1)

    The object is still in a faint state (vsnet-campaign-dn 2652).


  BL Lac		(RA = 22h02m42s.86, Dec = +42d16'37".6)

    The short-term activity has been reported (vsnet-campaign-blazar 268).


  V2540 Oph             (RA = 17h37m34s.36, Dec = -16d23'18".4)

    The smooth fading continues (vsnet-campaign-nova 942).


  V Sge                 (RA = 20h20m14s.75, Dec = +21d06'09".0)

    The fading continues (vsnet-campaign-nl 92).


  IX Dra		(RA = 18h12m32s.2, Dec = +67d04'41")

    The object was reported to be in outburst during July 12 
  (14.9mag) - 14 (15.5mag), which may indicate a superoutburst 
  (vsnet-campaign-dn 2646).


  NSV 10934             (RA = 18h40m52s.26, Dec = -83d43'10".24)

    An outburst (12.7mag) was reported by R. Stubbings on July 18 
  (vsnet-campaign-dn 2650).


  AM Her	       (RA = 18h16m13s.4, Dec = +49d52'03".1)

    The object is still faint at about 15mag (vsnet-campaign-polar 7).


*** Future schedule ***

  Observations of AM Her with HST
	B. Gaensicke reported that they have Hubble Space Telescope 
    observations of the magnetic cataclysmic variable AM Herculis 
    scheduled for July 11/12.   Close monitoring of the activity of 
    the star throughout the next 3 weeks would be very helpful for 
    the interpretation of the HST data.
