MR UMa superoutburst coverage requested for HST observations
Active Dates: March 8, 2013 – April 10, 2013
Abstract:
Dr. Boris Gaensicke (Warwick University) has requested observations of the currently-outbursting SU UMa-type cataclysmic variable MR UMa in preparation for and support of HST observations scheduled for the week 2013 April 4-7.
Justification:
Since MR UMa appears to be in superoutburst, the HST observations scheduled for next month might offer an unplanned opportunity to measure the post-outburst cooling of the WD in this system.
