Outburst of 2106-09 VY Aquarii - probably not a superoutburst
Abstract:
The SU UMa-type (possibly WZ Sge-type) cataclysmic variable VY Aquarii is experiencing an outburst for the first time since 1994. The outburst's nature is unknown and time-series photometry is requested to help determine its nature.
Justification:
Time series photometry throughout the outburst may help determine the nature of VY Aquarii, as its previous superhump behavior did not fit the classical pattern for WZ Sge stars.
