Special Notice #363: HS 2214+2845 (= V513 Peg) obs critical now

July 16, 2013: Based on your observations, the HST/COS team will be making the final decision tomorrow afternoon (2013 July 17) or the next morning whether to observe the dwarf nova HS 2214+2845 = V513 Peg on:

V513 Peg (HS 2214+2845) 2013 July 18 21:08:59 through July 19 01:04:23 UT


V513 Peg is 16.8V at minimum and 12.5V at maximum. Please monitor V513 Peg closely through July 19.

Following V513 Peg, the next HST/COS target is the WZ Sge-type variable 1RXS J213807.1+261958 (= OT J213806.6+261957). Observations are scheduled for:

1RXS J213807.1+261958 (OT J213806.6+261957)
            2013 July 25 17:26:50 through 21:05:23 UT


According to observations in the AAVSO International Database, the most recent outburst of 1RXS J213807.1+261958 was in May 2010, when it reached visual magnitude 8.8, and it has been observed as faint as 20.993V (GFB, B. Goff, Sutter Creek, CA) and is currently <17.3V (S. Dvorak, Clermont, FL); the positive observations at ~15V are likely of a very close-by field star.
