[vsnet-alert 18045] Re: bright outburst of 2QZ J015940.6-281040 in ASAS-SN data

[Patrick Schmeer]

In 2005 I reported this set of ASAS data of the
2003 outburst to Ron Downes. He then added
the following lines in the Catalog and Atlas of
Cataclysmic Variables:
"Magnitude Range: 12.0 V - 19.7 b
Notes: large outburst (Schmeer, private
communication) indicates ug or ugwz type
Last Updated: 2005-10-11"

The outburst was most likely a superoutburst (even a WZ Sge-type outburst).
Time-series observations of the current outburst are encouraged!
