Alert Notice 591: GW Lib observations requested in support of K2 and HST observations

August 7, 2017: Dr. Boris Gaensicke (Warwick University) has requested our help in monitoring the pulsating white dwarf-containing cataclysmic variable GW Lib in preparation for and support of K2 (Kepler's Second Light) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations scheduled for August to November 2017 and August and September 2017, respectively.

K2 will be observing GW Lib non-stop 2017 Aug 23 20:00:00 to 2017 Nov 19 23:00:00 UTC.

Special Notice #42: Outburst of GW Lib

April 12, 2007

Rod Stubbings reports via Daisaku Nogami/VSNET that the cataclysmic variable GW Lib is currently in outburst, at a visual magnitude of 13.8. Follow-up observations are urgently requested. The object is located at

Alert Notice 513: Request for observations of GW Lib in support of HST observations

March 18, 2015: Dr. Paula Szkody, University of Washington, has requested our help in monitoring the cataclysmic variable GW Lib for upcoming Hubble Space Telescope observations, scheduled to be made during the window 2015 April 22-25 UT. Dr. Szkody also observed this object with HST in March 2011 and March 2010 (see AAVSO Alert Notices 433 and 417, respectively).

Special Notice #199: Request for monitoring of GW Lib in support of HST Observations

March 8, 2010: Further to Alert Notice 417, the AAVSO requests intensive monitoring observations of the cataclysmic variable GW Librae beginning immediately (2010 March 9.0 UT; JD 2455264.5) and continuing through 2010 March 12.5 (2455268.0). These observations are in support of the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph observations of GW Lib planned for 2010 March 11 UT. Space Telescope ground controllers will need to know that GW Lib is fainter than V=15 in order to proceed with the planned observations.
