Active Dates: July 5, 2018 – Aug. 5, 2018


Abstract:

Dr. Christian Knigge has requested immediate monitoring of the SU UMa-type dwarf Novae VW Hyi in order to promptly identify the next outburst. This outburst will trigger radio wavelength observations. As this object has never been detected in the radio, it is imperative that the radio observations be started as soon after outburst as possible to have the best chance of detection.
