MKN421: June - July fading
The blazar MKN421 (Markarian 421) remarkably faded since the end of
June. The level of faintness was only attained in early 1996
(vsnet-campaign-blazer 15). D. Rodriguez reported his CCD observation
of V=13.5mag, which confirmed the tendency
(vsnet-campaign-blazer 16).
The fading trend was interrupted around July 20
(vsnet-campaign-blazer 39,
31)
and turned into recovery (13.4mag on July 21)
(vsnet-campaign-blazer 42).
