[vsnet-obs 744] Double-peaked max. of AY Lyr



Dear colleagues,

A few days ago, Lasse Jensen listed some of his AY Lyr observations,
that clearly indicate the existence of a double-peaked maximum.

Double-peaked maxima, although not at all common, have been observed
and/or suspected in a number of UGSU-type dwarf novae. Some examples
recently were quoted in the CVC's.

Concerning AY Lyr itself, a similar double-peaked maximum was observed
by the undersigned about one year ago, during another superoutburst of
AY Lyr. Here are the observations :

   1994.0529  13.2   (AAVSO Sequence)
   1994.0530  13.7
   1994.0531  14.5
   1994.0605  13.1
   1994.0607  13.1
   1994.0612  13.1
   1994.0614  13.7
   1994.0619 [14.2

I think there is no sound theoretical explanation yet for the observed
behaviour ...

Regards,
Tonny
