AR Sco observing campaign

Active Dates: Aug. 18, 2016 – Sept. 11, 2016


Abstract:

Dr. Thomas Marsh (University of Warwick) and colleagues have requested AAVSO coverage of the intriguing binary AR Sco in support of upcoming Newton-XMM observations.

Justification:

Coverage is required immediately before, after, and during the XMM observations scheduled for September 10-11, 2016 to establish a good baseline. Observers: due to the 2-minute period and harmonic, a cadence of <29 seconds is ideal.
