[vsnet-alert 5055] V344 Pav rare outburst

V344 Pav rare outburst

   Rod Stubbings reports that the dwarf nova V344 Pav is undergoing a
rare outburst.  The last reported outburst occurred in 1999 September -
October, whose fading trend closely resembled that of a superoutburst
of an SU UMa-type dwarf nova.  The large outburst amplitude (more than
6 mag) also supports this possibility.  Time-series photometry during
the present outburst is strongly recommended.  The object is thus brought
into the timely vsnet-campaign target.
