[vsnet-alert 16346] Next HST observations: SDSS0137-0912 = GZ Cet

[Boris Gaensicke]

Dear All,

the HST observations of SDSS0137-0912 = GZ Cet have now
been scheduled:

Sep 13, 2013 12:24:02 - 19:06:54

Curiously enough, the
monitoring<http://www.aavso.org/lcg/plot?auid=000-BCY-745&lastdays=50&obstotals=yes&calendar=calendar&grid=on&visual=on&uband=on&bband=on&v=on&pointsize=1&width=800&height=450>over
the past few weeks seems
to have detected a short / normal outburst. There is relatively
few evidence for the occurrence of normal outbursts in these
very short-period WZ Sge (like) CVs, so catching one just
in the run-up of the HST observations is fortunate...

Please keep monitoring GZ Cet closely until the end of the HST
observations. As usual, it is only with your help that the HST
observations can be approved.

And a quick look ahead: BB Ari is planned for the week Sept 23 - 30.

Best wishes,

Boris
