UY Cen
According to BAA VSS Circular 112, 3 (J. Toone), UY Cen is reported to
have undergone a deep minimum (mag 10) in 2002 February to March. Such
a deep fading may have been compared to a RCB-type fading. T. Kato reported
that VSNET observations may suggest that the fading already started in
2001, but the depth may be inconsistent with the report in BAA VSS Circular
(vsnet-campaign-rcb
38, 39).
S. Otero commented on different color response and observing techniques,
which should be noticed when observers estimate magnitudes of the object
(vsnet-campaign-rcb
41). The UY Cen chart provided by S. Otero is available at: http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_UY_Cen.htm
