Possible New Dwarf Nova in Cet (ASAS023322)

Active Dates: Jan. 20, 2006 – Jan. 22, 2006


Abstract:

A possible new nova or dwarf nova discovered by the ASAS3V instrument. Coordinates by David Boyd using UCAC2 as reference. AAVSO observations confirmed a new object first detected by ASAS3V on Jan 20.121 UT at magnitude 12.08 in V. Observations requested to determine the star's type.

Justification:

If this is a UGWZ type dwarf nova then superhumps will be detected, and a change in their phase may be detected early in the outburst. Visual observations are requested to monitor the star's long term behavior. Spectroscopic observations would also help to determine the star's type.
