Alert Notice 573: V2492 Cyg monitoring requested in support of XMM observations
Active Dates: April 6, 2017 – Dec. 31, 2017
Abstract:
Dr. Nicolas Grosso (CNRS, Observatoire Astronomique de Strasbourg) has requested AAVSO assistance in monitoring the young eruptive star (FUOR type) V2492 Cyg from the optical to the infrared in support of X-ray observations with XMM-Newton scheduled for 2017 April 18 UT. AAVSO observations indicate that V2492 Cyg, which has been declining from outburst, appears to be rebrightening, so nightly observations beginning immediately are critical. To support the XMM observations, beginning now and continuing through April 30, nightly optical to infrared photometry (BVRIJHK and/or the equivalent Sloan filter) is requested.
Justification:
AAVSO observations indicate that V2492 Cyg, which has been declining from outburst, appears to be rebrightening. To support the XMM observations.
