[vsnet-outburst 29489] Standstill in CR Boo

Standstill in CR Boo

Using ATLAS forced photometry (Tonry et al. 2018; Shingles et al. 2021) and observations reported to VSNET, I found that CR Boo was almost constant between 2022 May and early July. A faint state without a dwarf nova outburst (around 17 mag) followed. The former appears to be a true standstill without low-amplitude oscillations. The latter may have reflected a lower mass-transfer rate, but the duration was too short to be recognized as a VY Scl-type fading episode. The object currently appears to show dwarf nova outbursts.
