GW Lib observations requested in support of K2 and HST Observations
Active Dates: Aug. 7, 2017 – Nov. 19, 2017
Abstract:
Dr. Boris Gaensicke (Warwick University) has requested our help in monitoring the pulsating white dwarf-containing cataclysmic variable GW Lib for K2 (Kepler's Second Light) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations.
Justification:
For the HST observations, AAVSO observations are essential to know the state of the system to ensure that the object is NOT in outburst when observed with HST. For the K2 observations, AAVSO observations are needed in analyzing the satellite data.
