(cba:news) AR Scorpii (Joe Patterson) [2016-07-28T22:12:42Z]


Thanks, Josch, for your posting on cba-chat... and for finding such a fascinating star.

I had never heard of AR Sco before... but now it has become important and mysterious - and it's right up our alley! At 14th magnitude, everyone should be able to time-resolve that 2 minute signal. And at 1621-22, it's both seasonal and (somewhat) available to both hemispheres.

I dunno what we'll find - but let's find out!

We can quit on DQ Her and Swift 2124+05, but should definitely observe the novae V4743 Sgr, V1494 Aql, and V339 Del. And get a few eclipse minima of V Sge. Still studying the other in-progress campaigns...
