[Gary Poyner]

The poorly studied Dwarf Nova HS1340+1524 looks to be in outburst...

Mar 21.086   15.5  visual  Seq.  USNO A2.0

Dr. Boris Gaensicke comments on his HQS web pages...

"This is a short-period dwarf nova which displays rare and short-
lasting outbursts. We caught it once while being at the Calar
Alto 2.2m telescope, and it went from quiescence to maximum, to
quiescence again in about 2 days. No superoutburst detected so far,
needs regular monitoring to determine the outburst frequency, and
to settle whether or not it is an SU UMa system"

'Fast' confirmation is required!

regards,
Gary
