CI UMa : Superoutburst in October
The SU UMa-type dwarf nova CI UMa experienced an outburst at
13.8 mag as reported on July 26 by M. Reszelski. The last
superoutburst occurred in 2000 September
(vsnet-campaign 1041).
This outburst was rapidly faded, which indicates its normal nature
(vsnet-campaign-dn 1039).
The next outburst was detected by T. Kinnunen on October 29
(vsnet-campaign 1202).
The Kyoto team detected superhumps with 0.3 mag amplitude and a period of
0.0630(9) d using their October 30 and 31 data. This observations
confirmed the short-period nature of CI UMa
(vsnet-campaign-dn 1820).
The analysis of the Kyoto Oct. 31 - Nov. 4 data has yielded a shorter
superhump period of 0.0628 d. The amplitude of superhumps has decreased
during this interval
(vsnet-campaign-dn 1846).
