RX And
Observations in November indicated that the unusual Z Cam-type dwarf nova
with occasional low states, RX And, may have entered its low (faint) state.
Since the last small outburst around November 3-4, no brightening has been
observed. This small outburst followed a bright outburst in late November.
The present behavior seems to reproduce the start of the 1996 August-September
event. The 1996 August-September event was the first event which revealed
the peculiarity of RX And. The faint state lasted until 1997 January
(vsnet-campaign-dn
2904, 3033).
A new outburst was detected on November 19 by E. Muyllaert. The possible
low state had finished, but the outburst interval is rather unusual (vsnet-campaign-dn
3042). A new outburst was detected on December 6 when it was 12.8mag
as reported by T. Kinnunen, and then it further brightened. The outburst
cycle may be unexpectedly short (vsnet-campaign-dn
3085).
