Request to monitor the CV SDSS161033 (1605-00) for HST observations AND TU Cas comparison stars
Abstract:
Dr. Paula Szkody (University of Washington) has requested our help in monitoring SDSS J161033 for upcoming Hubble Space Telescope observations. SDSS J161033 is a suspected UGWZ dwarf nova discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with a quiescent magnitude of around V=19. It has never been observed in outburst and is not expected to be in outburst on this date. However, if it is in outburst then its brightness could damage the ACS instrument on HST.
Justification:
The HST mission planners want to be absolutely sure that SDSS J161033 is not in outburst immediately prior to the scheduled observation to prevent potential damage to the ACS instrument on HST.
