Alert Notice 368: Major Outburst of EX Lup
Active Dates: Jan. 19, 2008 – Jan. 29, 2008
Abstract:
The pre main-sequence eruptive variable EX Lup (AAVSO 1556-40) appears to be undergoing a major outburst, exceeding the previous brightest maximum recorded in 1955. Observers are urged to observe this star during the current outburst.
Justification:
EX Lup is undergoing a significant outburst, surpassing past recorded magnitudes. Detailed observations during this phase are crucial for understanding the behavior and characteristics of pre main-sequence eruptive variables.
