Optical Campaign for Outbursts of Southern Intermediate Polars 
--- Prompt Spectroscopy with Cerro Tololo 1.5-m Telescope ---
***** August - December 2005 *****
http://home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~uemuram/ipoutburst2005/index.html

Current Status:
    The IP campaign, which was announced in [vsnet-campaign-ip 121], 
is now ongoing.  On Aug 2., R. Stubbings reported an outburst of 
NSV10934, one of our campaign targets, while we decided not to 
trigger the ToO spectroscopy this time.  We hope we can have another 
better chance for our goal in the next three months.  

    We have put additional targets for this campaign.  As shown in 
http://home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~uemuram/ipoutburst2005/index.html
, the priority of these objects is lower than the other two groups.
The additional targets are:

SDSS J233325.92+152222.2, 23:33:25.92, +15:22:22.2, 18.75g mag
UU Col,                   05:12:13.22, -32:41:39.8, 17.3B - 18.2B
V436 Car,                 07:44:57.99, -52:57:11.7, 13.6B - 15.8B
BW Scl,                   23:53:00.82, -38:51:46.0, 16.5V

For some information about them, please see:
http://home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~uemuram/ipoutburst2005/index.html

No outburst behavior has been reported in these 4 systems, 
but they can be targets of the ToO when they experience  
unprecedented, bright outbursts.  

As well as these targets, all IPs can be targets of the ToO when 
their first outburst is observed.
