[vsnet-obs 894] some about CI UMa



CI UMa (UGSU)

    Following a request from T. Vanmunster, I would like to make some comments
on this object, though my information is a little old.

    This dwarf nova was discovered by Granskiij and Kolotovlina (in Pererm.
Zvezdy).  They gave seemingly complete description of the outburst behavior.

    JD           mpg    duration
  2441392        14.3   faded by one mag in a day, but then brightened again
                        on 41394, followed by a linear decline until 41400
                        17.0 mag on 41411
    41533        14.8   stayed at maximum for five days.

    This object has been included in VSOLJ program since ~1987.  A long
outburst was observed in Jan. 1988.  Serveral other outbursts have been
recorded mainly by M. Koshiro.

    A photometric period of 87 min in quiescence was detected by Howell et al.
(PASP 102, 758).  During a bright outburst last year, superhumps were finally
discovered by Nogami et al. (Would you please give more details? >Nogami-san)

PS. Sorry, not Granskiij, but Goranskiij.
