AW Sge
M. Simonsen detected an outburst of the poorly known SU UMa star, AW Sge
at 14.4mag on October 31. The last recorded outburst (superoutburst) was
in 2000 July (vsnet-campaign-dn
2946). The brightness suggested a superoutburst (vsnet-campaign-dn
2949). Observations by the Nyrola team, however, indicated a rather
rapid decline at a rate of 0.9 mag/d (vsnet-campaign-dn
2955). On October 31, T. Vanmunster reported irregular modulations
with an amplitude of about 0.3mag, which were not superhumps (vsnet-campaign-dn
2956, 2958,
2960,
2980).
After the fading, a possible rebrightening to 17.2mag on November 3 was
reported by D. Starkey (vsnet-campaign-dn
2951, 2954,
2969).
But, no major rebrightening was confirmed (vsnet-campaign-dn
2975).
