V386 Ser to be observed with HST

Active Dates: Feb. 7, 2020 – Feb. 29, 2020


Abstract:

Monitoring of the cataclysmic variable V386 Ser in support of observations scheduled with the Hubble Space Telescope for the week of 2020 February 17-28 UT to obtain a temperature and look for pulsation modes.

Justification:

AAVSO observations are essential to know the state of the V386 Ser system in order to ensure that the system is NOT in outburst when observed with HST. AAVSO observations made 24 hours before the HST observing time will be used to make a go/no-go decision; AAVSO data will be used in the analysis of the resulting HST data.
