[vsnet-alert 15136] Re: [cvnet-discussion] FW: 6th HST visit scheduled: V405 Peg

[Boris Gaensicke]

Dear All,

the next HST target is V405 Peg,

Start: Dec 7, 2012 02:31:20 End: Dec 7, 2012 07:50:03

there is already good coverage over the last couple
of weeks, showing variability of about ~1mag.

This is a very interesting system, with a very low
accretion rate for being a long-period CV, and no
(to my knowledge) recorded "proper" outburst. It
may be a magnetic CV, though, clearly not a
typical polar, see
2009PASP..121..465T<http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2009PASP..121..465T>
.

Please try to monitor V405 Peg more intensely
over the next week, the go/no-go decision will
again be taken either Thu evening or Fri morning
(EST).

Best wishes & clear skies,

Boris
