ASASSN-18pe observing campaign
Active Dates: July 24, 2018 – July 24, 2018
Abstract:
Dr. Matt Darnley (Astrophysics Research Institute, Liverpool John Moores University) and the AAVSO are requesting monitoring of ASASSN-18pe, the cataclysmic variable (possible long period dwarf nova) discovered 2018 July 10 by the ASAS-SN program (J. Strader et al. ATel #11867) at magnitude V = 15.8.
Justification:
ASASSN-18pe is a cataclysmic variable with an unusual slow rise to outburst, which may indicate a long period dwarf nova or an unusual X-ray binary outburst. Observations are necessary to better understand its nature and behavior.
