(cba:news) Fwd: CRTS J135716.8-093238 (X-ray "nova"): new outburst? (Apr. 10) (Joe Patterson) [2021-04-11T08:12:41Z]

Hi CBAers,

Here's a great new object for long, all-latirude-and-longitude 
observation.  Outburst confirmed by ZTF in ATel 14539.

AM CVn season is not yet over - we want to continue through May.  But we 
have very high-quality timings of the orbital signal (as well as the two 
superhumps, of course) - so the need for *long* nightly time series has 
passed.  I'd give the X-ray transient priority over HP Lib, too - 
although the latter is definitely of high interest.

Thanks, Patrick!

joe
