Rare outburst of 1950+32A EY Cygni AND Outburst of 0058+40 RX Andromedae AND Short outburst of 0846+58 BZ Ursae Majoris
Abstract:
This campaign reports on the rare outburst of EY Cyg, the outburst of RX And, and the short outburst of BZ UMa. EY Cyg has shown an outburst for the first time since March 1992, observed by Gerald Dyck and Jochen Pietz, and confirmed by Gene Hanson. RX And has gone into outburst after an unusually long faint minimum, while BZ UMa's short outburst saw it briefly reach visual magnitude 11.4 before returning to minimum.
Justification:
The rare outbursts of these cataclysmic variables provide valuable data for understanding the behavior and characteristics of such objects.
