[vsnet 547] call for observations of NSV06481

[tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp]

   This variable star was last year discovered in a bright state by
K. Takamizawa.  We have not yet heard further information of this object
since.  Follow-up observations during this favorabale season are still
encouraged.

| Subject: [vsnet-alert 92] brightening of NSV06481
| 
|   K. Takamizawa (Nagano, Japan) reports his photographic discovery of
| a brightening of NSV 06481.  The original observations follow:
| 
| object         YYMMDD(UT)   mag  code
| NSV06481       940506.595  141P  K.Takamizawa
| NSV06481       950328.660  124P  K.Takamizawa
| 
| Instruments: 10-cm refr. (fl=400mm) photographic. T-Max 400
| 
|   M. Iida (Nagano, Japan) further reports that NSV 06481 is cataloged
| in NSV as a suspected variable star with a range of 14.5 - [15.5 p, type
| unknown.  The object is not registered in IRAS PSC.  Hence NSV 06481 seems
| less likely to be identified as a red variable.
| 
|   M. Iida further provides his survey of photographic atlases:
| 
|   Vehrenberg:  fainter than 15.4
|   Lick:        14.5:
|   GSC:         14.9
| 
|   An examination of a photograph by K. Takamizawa confirms an identification
| of NSV 06481 with a GSC star (V=14.9) at the corresponding position.
| 
|   Although the materials have not been conclusive, M. Iida suspects this
| object to be a some sort of eruptive or cataclysmic variable.  Follow-up
| observations are urgently needed.  Spectroscopic observations and multicolor
| photometry would be most helpful.
