HS1340+1524


This is a short-period dwarf nova which displays rare and short-lasting outbursts. We caught it once while being at the Calar Alto 2.2m telescope, and it went from quiescence to maximum, to quiescence again in about 2 days. No superoutburst detected so far, needs regular monitoring to determine the outburst frequency, and to settle whether or not it is an SU UMa system.
