[vsnet 44] Request for DNe outburst info

[jjj@uwast.astro.wisc.edu (Joni Johnson)]

 Dear variable star observers:
   As some of you may know, the ASTRO-2 mission is going to be launched
on the Space Shuttle Endeavour on March 2nd.  As part of that package,
Wisconsin has the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimeter Experiment (WUPPE)
which will be obtaining ultraviolet spectropolarimetry and spectra of
a wide variety of objects.  Of particular interest to me, we are going
to be observing various cataclysmic variables.  In the case of the dwarf
novae, we would like to observe them in outburst and hence I ask that
any variable star observers notify me if the following dwarf novae go into
outburst:

These objects will be observed
-----------------------
  VW Hyi  
  U Gem   
  Z Cam   
  SS Cyg  
  RX And  
  WX Hyi  
  EM Cyg  
  AR And  
  YZ Cnc  

These objects may be observed if they go into outburst during the mission
---------------------------------------------------------------
  SW UMa  
  OY Car  
  BV Cen  
  HL CMa  


During the mission, I will be at Marshall Space Flight Center, but I will be
checking my e-mail here for the regular vsnet alerts. However, if it's not too
much trouble, I would appreciate notification of outbursts to be sent to:

replan@potosi.msfc.nasa.gov

so that other team members can see it when I'm asleep!

Thank you much in advance, and clear skies!
