AQ CMI ERUPTION OVER?
The following are mean V magnitudes of AQ CMi obtained by Anouk
Shambrook on the CTIO 1-m telescope. Superhumps continued throughout
February 12-19, with a mean period of 95.2+-0.2 min.
Feb 12.1 14.56
13.1 14.71
14.1 14.90
16.1 14.96
17.1 15.15
18.1 15.24
19.1 15.78
20.1 17.5
21.1 18.3
22.1 18.3
So probably the dwarf nova has returned to near minimum. Continued
vigilance is very desirable to see if the star "echoes" within a few
days. Also, the star is so little-known that there is still no basic
information about the recurrence time of normal and super-maxima, so
observation over the next few months is quite important. The little
fella might yet have a few tricks up his sleeve.
