Hello everyone,
This is a follow-up to two recently-completed campaigns we ran over the
past few months.
The campaign requested by Christian Knigge of the University of
Southampton has been completed; multiple sets of radio observations were
obtained on SS Cyg and U Gem, and an analysis of these data are currently
in progress. Thanks to all who participated in observations of the many
different targets! It's was quite challenging for everyone, but it
produced valuable results. We will keep everyone posted as to when a
publication is available on the e-print server at arXiv.org.
Second, Steve Howell's campaign to observe AR UMa in support of Spitzer
observations in early May has also been completed. The campaign was
scheduled to end on May 31, but observations of AR UMa (and all of the
other CVs in our program) are encouraged, regardless of whether a campaign
is in progress.
We still have one active campaign requested by Gordon Sarty of the
University of Saskatchewan to observe a set of HMXB stars. The details of
this campaign were given in Alert Notice #348:
http://www.aavso.org/publications/alerts/alert348.shtml
Several of those HMXBs are in Cygnus, so they will make good time-series
targets for the coming months.
We have another campaign Alert Notice warming up in the bullpen, and
should be releasing it soon. Details will be forthcoming in the next
several days.
Thanks again to everyone who observed in support of these and other AAVSO
campaigns!
Clear skies,
Matthew Templeton
