[vsnet-alert 25175] Watchlists for cataclysmic variables

[Denis Denisenko d.v.denisenko@gmail.com via vsnet-alert]

Dear colleagues,

As many of you already know, Zwicky Transient Facility (Masci et al., 2019)
offers the possibility for researchers to create their own watch lists of
transient and variable objects. Some of them are available publicly at
https://lasair.roe.ac.uk/watchlist/

I have created several similar lists for the variable stars that are of
interest to me, and hopefully may be of help to other members of the CV
community. Almost all objects in the lists are located in the northern
hemisphere.

http://scan.sai.msu.ru/~denis/MASTER-ZTF.html - dwarf novae discovered by
MASTER robotic telescopes network (Lipunov et al., 2010) brighter than 15.5m

http://scan.sai.msu.ru/~denis/DDE-ZTF.html - cataclysmic variable stars
discovered by Denis Denisenko (DDE)

http://scan.sai.msu.ru/~denis/MGAB-ZTF.html - dwarf novae discovered by
Gabriel Murawski (MGAB) brighter than 16.0m

Three lists above are sorted by maximum magnitude according to AAVSO VSX.

http://scan.sai.msu.ru/~denis/CV-ZTF.html - selected CVs that went into
outbursts recently or are expected to do that soon

http://scan.sai.msu.ru/~denis/Var-ZTF.html - CVs discovered by my students
from various astronomy classes at Vorobyovy Gory education center and from
Moscow University's science camp LANAT (in the chronological order of
discovery)

Because of the growing teaching obligations I am having less and less time
for astronomy as a science every year. Obviously I am unable to check these
lists on a daily basis. Normally I run through them twice a week. I will be
glad if other people will use my pages to detect important outbursts of
some objects listed there. This would be a good project to offer to
students.

Best regards and Happy New Year!
