Re: [vsnet-sdor 14] re HD 5980 HD 5980 had been known as the brightest WR binary in the SMC, until the discovery of an eta Car-type outburst in 1994. See IAUC 6099, 6102 and numerous papers (e.g. Barba et al. 1995 ApJ 446, 23L). The GCVS Vol V didn't seem to have followed these articles yet. Regards, Taichi Kato
