Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2003 11:32:00 -1000 (HST) From: Michael Linnolt <linnolt@hawaii.edu> Subject: [vsnet-alert 7874] URGENT TIME CRITICAL - Large aperture observations needed! The transient object whose information is given on my website http://vsnet2.hawaii.edu/~linnolt/HXPegtransient.html is apparently fading rapidly, as evidenced by the nature of the light curve ending at Sep 20 11:28UT and the negative observations to V=16 or 17 at 18UT. Anyone with large aperture and can get down faint is requested to observe this region ASAP! Thank you very much, Mike Linnolt On Sat, 20 Sep 2003, Michael Koppelman wrote: > Hmm, quite a mystery.
