VSNET Weekly Campaign Summary

*** Headlines ***

The first outburst since 1984!!! ----- DV Dra

*** Last week news ***

(new targets) 
  TSS J022216.4+412260    (RA = 02h22m16s.4, Dec = +41d22'59".9)

    According to Atel #658, R. Quimby et al. reported a discovery 
  of a new dwarf nova, TSS J022216.4+412260 on Nov. 16 and 17 (about
  15.5 mag) using the 0.45m ROTSE-IIIb telescope.  Its spectra show a
  blue continuum with prominent H-alpha and HeII 4686 emission lines, 
  which is rather unusual for a dwarf nova.  Strong He II emission
  lines are seen in rare classes of objects including high-inclination
  (eclipsing) systems or WZ Sge-type dwarf novae 
  (vsnet-campaign-dn 4572).  


  DV Dra                  (RA = 18h17m23s.10, Dec = +50d48'18".1)

    P. Schmeer discovered an extremely rare outburst of DV Dra at
  15.1CR on Nov. 22.  The object was faint on Nov. 19 (<18.0CR).  
  DV Dra is a candidate of WZ Sge-type dwarf novae.  The only
  previously recorded outburst (a supermaximum) of this UGWZ 
  candidate was observed on 1984 June 1.9 UT at mpg= 15.0 
  (IBVS 3626).   
    Time-resolved photometry is very urgently required
  (vsnet-campaign 1632, vsnet-campaign-dn 4573).
