Sorry I could'nt get a better image of the Var Cas 06 object last night, but I had to deal with a very bright moon, and lots of halloween fireworks! I hope it...
Hi All, I've posted a chart for GSC3656-1328 in the files section of this group: <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/baavss-alert/files/> This chart is based...
Dr. Mauri Valtonen has constructed a very interesting future light curve calculation, which shows his predicted activity for OJ287 up to 2014. In Mauri's own...

Given the lack of any obvious change in the colours of this star during this 'outburst' and particularly the lack of any emission lines there has to be a...
Spectrum from last night continues to show no emission lines. http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/astro2/spectra_30.htm The H alpha absorption is less distinct...
Hi all, I'm forwarding this from the Astronomers Telegram, it's certainly a very interesting theory! Keith.. ATEL #931 ATEL #931 Title: The bright new...
It is an interesting theory, but requires that the spectra be the same as before the event. I think the jury is still out on that. Nevertheless, the outburst...
Using the data from Bob Koff and Tom Krajci and all the other reported magnitude estimates I can find I have made a very preliminary fit to the light curve...
This is indeed a fascinating event, and I regret that due to foul weather here that I was never able to see it. It would be wonderful if the microlensing...
Chris, Starting to look rather convincing. In your view, what is the observing challenge we now face? If the star is an ordinary A spectral type star then...
I suggest low resolution spectroscopy coupled with Vmag measurements would be an ideal tool for this. Unfortunately I am now clouded out. If anyone is...
What do you fhink is best to use Robin, i have one 80l/mm and a 300l/mm grating filter. Scope Schmidt-Newton f 4.0 and a b/w Camera HX-516, ICX084AL Hyper HAD ...
... Amplifications of 4 magnitudes are rare, but perfectly reasonable. See http://skytonight.com/news/3311061.html?page=1&c=y as a nice example of a...
Considering that microlensing events can produce changes that are easily detectable, then here is a new field that is opening up to those who can combine small...

Bernhard 01 is active: Nov 6.836 14.70C Normally I have this at 15.4C to 15.6C at quiescence, so whether this is the beginning of an outburst or exceptional...
Hi all, I've just sent an e-mail out to all the astrophotography groups that I am subscribed to, and also to which many people subscribed to, regarding Var Cas...
Richard, Colin, Yes the aim should be to get accurate photometry of the last part of the decline as it asymptotically approaches it's original magnitude,...

Dear All, The light curve posted by Chris Lloyd about 14 hours ago does indeed resemble a microlensing event, and based on that and the spectrum I would say...
