[vsnet-outburst 8627] RX And outburst

[Ohshima]

RX And outburst

 Though the Z Cam type dwarf nova RX And had been in a 
faint state since around 20th of Jan, the faint state
seems to have ended. This star is undergoing an outburst
now.

This star also showed faint states in 1996 and 2000. 
However, this faint state is shorter than these cases.
The fact that this star in this faint state was a little
brighter than in past faint states may be related to this
shorter length of this faint state.
