Monitoring requested for PSN J12355230+2755559 (Com)
Abstract:
Dr. Mojgan Aghakhanloo (University of Virginia) has requested AAVSO observers' assistance in monitoring the very interesting SDOR variable PSN J12355230+2755559 (= AT 2016blu) (Com) to document its next outburst.
Justification:
AT 2016blu has experienced at least 19 outbursts from 2012 to 2022. We have observed that AT 2016blu's outbursts occur approximately every 113 days. Based on this estimated period, we predict that its next outburst will occur around February 2024. As the light curve of AT 2016blu shows brief, multi-peaked outbursts that sometimes occur before or after the expected periastron time, it is crucial to monitor it for about a month before and after the proposed timeline.
