1958+56 V1028 Cygni in outburst

Active Dates: July 27, 1995 – Aug. 1, 1995


Abstract:

We have been informed by our observers T. Burrows, Novato, CA, and D. York, Abiquiu, NM, that they have independently observed the outburst of V1028 Cyg. We were also informed via vsnet that J. Pietz, Erftstadts, Germany, independently observed this outburst. Below are recent observations of V1028 Cyg. V1028 Cyg has been closely monitored by the AAVSO since 1981. The observations in the AAVSO International Database suggest that it may be an SU UMa-type dwarf nova.

Justification:

The fact that this current outburst is bright suggests that it may also be a superoutburst. Dr. T. Kato and the Ouda Team of astronomers in Japan who have been observing V1028 Cyg since 29 July reported that the outburst light curve initially showed low amplitude double waves. Their CCD photometry on July 30th indicated that 'true' superhumps with single-peak hump structure had developed. Their CCD photometry on July 31 showed typical superhumps. Thus, these observations confirm the suggestion that V1028 Cyg is an SU UMa-type dwarf nova.
