V803 Cen: strong oscillations! Dear Colleagues, Berto Monard has reported a new exciting set of data! Following Tom Richard's observation, V803 Cen turned to a steep beightening stage. After reaching a sharp peak on June 10.87 UT, the object started fading again (at a slower rate). During this observation, superhumps were only transiently active. The overall variation bears some resemblance to post-superoutburst rebrightening in a hydrogen-rich dwarf novae (similar to the 13 rebrightenings in WZ Sge in 2001, http://vsnet.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/DNe/wzsge01.html , but there is a difference in the behavior of superhumps). In any case, the light curve looks extremely queer among all sorts of variable stars! The combined light curve will be posted on the VSNET page later. Regards, Taichi Kato VSNET Collaboration team
