HS Vir: May superoutburst
As reported by R. Srubbings on April 8, the SU UMa-type dwarf nova
HS Vir is reported to be undergoing a relatively bright (13.8mag) outburst.
The last reported (presumable) superoutburst occurred in 1999 May, when
the object was first reported at mv=14.1, then slowly rose to mv=13.4
(vsnet-alert 4592).
The outburst seems to be a normal one.
The other outburst was detected by A. Pearce on May 21 at 14.2mag
(vsnet-campaign 121).
CCD time-resolved photometry by S. Kiyota on 24 May has confirmed the
presence of definite superhumps
(vsnet-campaign 128).
On June 4, HS Vir was reported at 15.0, at the terminal stage of this
superoutburst
(vsnet-campaign 173).
