TV Col : Calm state?
During the first half of 2001, the short outbursts were detected on
January 7
(vsnet-campaign-ip 29),
20
(vsnet-campaign-ip 35),
28
(vsnet-campaign-ip 37).
The reported cycle indicated that the next outburst would occur in the
early February
(vsnet-campaign-ip 39),
however, the object looks to change its outburst cycle from active one
to relatively calm one since 2001 February
(vsnet-campaign-ip 44).
Since the outburst duration is known to be very short, and A. Retter
noticed it was very likely that outbursts may have been missed
(vsnet-campaign-ip 45).
In the second half of 2001, B. Monard detected an outburst at 13.3mag
on October 23
(vsnet-campaign-ip 64).
In October 31, eight days later from that outburst, M. Uemura reported
another outburst
(vsnet-campaign-ip 65).
For three weeks since this outburst, observations reported by B. Monard
showed no major outburst, except for small-amplitude modulations
(vsnet-campaign-ip 66).
The duration of TV Col outbursts are very short. Close monitoring is
encouraged in 2002.
