[vsnet-alert 9131] KV And outburst, superoutburst overdue?

[Taichi Kato]

   As reported by Maehara-san, the SU UMa-type dwarf nova
KV And is in outburst.  The last reported superouburst
was in 2005 Aug (detected at 14.7V, risen to 14.0).
Although the present magnitude is somewhat faint, the long
interval since the last superoutburst might suggest another
start of a superoutburst.  If the star is developing
superhumps, please keep a watch.
