[vsnet-alert 10040] re OT_J081418.9-005022: new Catalina transient

[csscvs at Safe-mail.net]

It would be useful in the context of bibliographic audit trail if this source was referenced for this information

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cvnet-discussion/message/1130

This is especially the case as the reporter of the object upon CVNET (Andrew Drake) is the principle investigator  of the CSS Transient Objects' group's identification team.

Further, the only reason this object has come to light and been announced is because he is examining the group's archival data deliberately in order to note such objects as a volunteered courtesy to the cataclysmic variable community, a service that is not part of their core remit.

Thus it is not only informative to include the paper trail to his original announcement, but also polite.

PS I also suggest the Catalina identity is the appropriate one.  I shall email them separately advising about the name truncation/rounding issue which I think is supposed to be rigorously adhered to, but slips through the net in some surveys.

   The object was probably recorded in outburst with ASAS-3.
Among several candidate outbursts, the 2007 October one has two
positive detections at V=13.4 (Oct 9) and V=13.5 (Oct 13).

   The object is likely a new dwarf nova."
