ASASSN-21co - Interesting Behavior

Hi All 

ASASSN-21co is starting to show some interesting behavior. Although the eclipse has only just begun, it appears the light curve is starting to flatten, and possibly brightening based on ASAS-SN data...

[ Link to latest ASAS-SN data for ASASSN-21co ... https://asas-sn.osu.edu/sky-patrol/coordinate/8cc5012f-1b59-498c-a748-2845fb681423 ]

The LCG plots are also showing a similar flat trend at the moment. It will be interesting to watch over the next days as more data comes in and see what happens.

where to submit ASASSN-21co spectrum?

Hi,

I took a spectrum of ASASSN-21co on saturday night. It appears to be an m2 spectral type but also seems to ramp up at the blue end like an A or B. I posted on the spectroscopy page to ask where to submit data but no response yet.

 

Cheers,
