During a survey of V419 Lyr history, I have noticed a (probably) little-
known literature concerning the popular(?) target KX Aql, which experienced
a short faint outburst in 1994 Dec.
G. A. Garbusov (Perem. Zvezdy suppl. 3, 639, 1979) gave following
outbursts from 550 Moscow & Simeiz plates.
JD mag
2436432-4 12.9-12.7
37964 15.0
38943 13.2 (negative in the table?)
D. Hoffleit (HB No.887, 1932) gave two outburst dates: JD 2425152 and
2426272. From these data, Garbusov concluded that the outburst cycle
of KX Aql should be ~1000 days.
"Outburst Activity Data on Selected Cataclysmic Variables" by Vanmunster
and Howell lists several additional outbursts recorded recently. Before
1994, no definite outbursts had been recorded since a bright one in 1980
despite close monitoring. Am I correct?
I hope this information would supplement our knowledge on this object.
