[vsolj-alert 413] GM Sgr below 14?!

[Taichi Kato <tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp>]

　こんな情報が来ています。もしかして１４等以下に減光？？
　今晩の観測ではいったいどうなっていることでしょう？

Dr. Kato:

I sent this message to Walter Lewin earlier this morning.  Bob Fried reported
to me that it faded to about V = 14.3 before clouds intervened in
the observations.  This would have been Sep 16.167 UT.  Have any other
observations been received that have confirmed the optical decline?

Cheers, Mark Wagner

Hi Walter,

Late yeterday afternoon I asked Bob Fried, who has an 0.4-m telescope and
a 1k x 1k CCD, to look at GM Sgr and follow it.  He reports to me this
morning that he found it at V = 14.3 early last evening AZ time.  That would
be about 0400 UT on Sep 16.  I haven't seen any of the latest VSNET estimates
this morning since I am logged on from home and I am about to go up to Kitt
Peak for engineering tests.  If confirmed it would seem that the
optical declined comtemporaneously with the X-rays.  It will be facinating
to put the optical and X-ray light curves together.  I saw visual
estimates of around 9th mag on VSNET yesterday.
