[vsnet-obs 1460] more about PU Per and PV Per



   We have found one more literature on PU Per and PV Per (Busch, H.,
H\"aussler, K., 1979, VSS 9, 125).   Following outbursts were observed
from Sonneberg plate collection.  My comments are added based on recent
classification of these stars as probable SU UMa-type dwarf novae.

    9380.56   16.0
    9385.52   14.7   superoutburst lasting at least 10 days

    1304.38  [16.0                      by Romano, Minello (1976)
                                        = superoutburst

  From these data, one may conclude:

  1) The shortest recorded interval between superoutbursts is ~330 day.
  2) Normal outbursts seem to be rare.  Some may be missed due to their
     faintness, though.

PV Per

  Rather numerous outbursts were recorded.  Only the dates of maxima
are cited here.
