AAVSO Alert Notice 663

1SWASP J022916.91-395901.4 being observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO)

8 March 2019: Further to AAVSO Alert Notice 652, Dr. Koji Mukai (Goddard Space Flight Center) informs us that 1SWASP J022916.91-395901.4, one of the nova-like variables in his target list, will be observed with Chandra on 2019 March 11 22:35 UT – 2019 March 12 02:45 UT.

Knowing the status of the target is essential for interpreting the X-ray data. Dr. Mukai thanks observers for the observations they have already made of 1SWASP J022916.91-395901.4, and asks if more observations (a snapshot every night through March 12, and then every one to two nights) could be made between now and March 22. V filter is optimal. Visual observations are welcome. The V range of 1SWASP J022916.91-395901.4 is 12.8–16.7.

As Dr. Mukai wrote in Alert Notice 652, "We think we know how dwarf novae behave in X-rays, through various campaigns (famously that one on SS Cyg in outburst that Janet Mattei [and AAVSO observers] was heavily involved in, with Pete Wheatley and Chris Mauche, 2003MNRAS.345...49W): they are X-ray bright in optical quiescence, and fainter and softer in X-rays during outburst. In the optical, we think of nova-likes as systems in permanent outburst – but in X-rays, they don’t quite resemble dwarf novae in outburst. In fact, we haven’t seen a clear pattern, when we made X-ray observations of nova-like systems at various optical magnitudes. This Chandra program is part of an effort to look for patterns and to understand their X-ray emission."

Observers are reminded that occasional snapshots (again, V is preferred) are also needed of the remaining targets on the list given in Alert Notice 652 (LQ Peg, UU Aqr; KQ Mon, V378 Peg, and EC 21178-5417 have already been observed). Please see that Alert Notice for information on coordinates and magnitude ranges.

The Z CamPaign


It’s all about the  standstills, those episodes where the star gets stuck at a mid-point between maximum and minimum. If it doesn’t exhibit standstills it isn’t a Z Cam star.
