[vsnet-alert 10790] re ST CHA in outburst?

[bydra at Safe-mail.net]

Boris G. quoted :-

"The other interesting point they make is that the system is eclipsing with a period around 7h... that should easily be tested by a few nights of time series."

Nope, in fact it's nearby CY Cha that's got a period of around 14h ish (two minima).

Reiterated just in case the cpm post didn't attract interest.

Only potential evidence going for CVness now is this filled in ugz/nl - esque thing you mentioned re their spectrum, if said is uniquely diagnostic for ugz/nl?

CVs with little or no evidence for 'em and calls for precious resources diverted to time series, etc.  I dunno.  Reflex action in the community it seems.  One of these days when someone tells me they've got a candidate rrd or beat cepheid or nonCVlike outburster or what'ever and can't get any observer interest, I'll suggest to 'em to claim it's a CV and call for superhump obs.  It'll only work once, but they'll be quids-in data wise.

Cheers
