[vsnet-alert 15724] BB Ari - how frequent are normal outbursts?

[Boris Gaensicke]

Dear All,

planning the forthcoming observations, one question
came up: how frequent are normal/short outbursts
in BB Ari? According to Taichi Kato's
2009PASJ...61S.395K<http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2009PASJ...61S.395K>
paper, normal outbursts seem to be quite rare, but please
let me know if you are aware of additional outbursts
over the past few years (a recent outburst is
well-sampled<http://www.aavso.org/lcg/plot?auid=000-BFR-382&starname=DT%20OCT&lastdays=&start=04/13/2013&stop=04/25/2013&obscode=&obscode_symbol=2&obstotals=no&calendar=calendar&forcetics=&grid=on&visual=on&uband=on&bband=on&v=on&pointsize=1&width=800&height=450&mag1=&mag2=&mean=&vmean=>
in the AAVSO archive).

Best wishes,

Boris
