Dear CBAers,I'm a few days away from sending this off to ApJ Letters. The assemblage of periods and rates of period change are certainly the most sensational I've encountered in my career... and it's a short, easy-to-understand paper.
I'll send it next week to you, and also astro-ph. With big shots like U Sco lurking about, it's sometimes hard for a little old mere nova to get attention. So, with the Moon finally out of the way, I'm hoping you can give this little star some close attention now. The spin period changes at a rate ~100x faster than anything we have seen before, so we really need to hammer away to keep track of it LONG runs are especially valuable.
Check to make sure we've got your contact info right. joe
