V618 Sgr, a possible symbiotic star, has recently started a considerable
brightening as shown below:
JD / CCD-V / CCD-Ic
2457953.40 15.25 11.12
2457961.40 15.12 11.07
2457979.37 14.84 11.12
2457984.36 14.27 11.07
2457991.35 13.88 11.06
2457999.27 13.68 11.06
The nearly constant I magnitudes point at the accretor, probably a WD, as the
eruptor.
This is the first observed eruption of this object since regular observations
started in 2004 at the Bronberg Observatory.
