(cba:news) V803 Centauri (Joe Patterson) [2000-06-05T17:04:51Z]
Dear CBAers,
Australites, get thee to a telescope! V803 Centauri finally jumped into
what appears to be a superoutburst - at a fairly convenient time of
year too. We have a lot of coverage at normal outburst and practically
none at super. No going to the movies tonight! The putative superhump
period is just about 27 minutes, so the star is a real action adventure
movie all by itself.
I'm at the Rochester AAS meeting right now, and will take 6 days to
get to Bio2. Communications will be a little stunted till I get
there.
