An active V442 and outburst
In 2010, August, i discovered an outburst of the Be star V442 and. That was my 2nd discovered outburst during 2010 on a total of three up to date.
Unlike the others, this outburst occurred during a period of nine month, between two observations, and last for less than 6 months. It was very short for a Be outburst.
The star return to quiescent stage recently these days. It gave some of the most animate Be spectra i have never done.
Below are animations of my raw spectra, telluric lines removed animation spectra and finally equivalent width on 6550 6675.
More analysis would coming soon
All spectra are available on Bess
Update:
very interesting return to activity of the Be star V442 And tonight (2011, Oct 20)
Observed on October 1st by Valerie Desnoux on a quiet phase (http://arasbeam.free.fr/spip.php?page=beam_spectra&etoile=1908), just seen tonight in outburst !
Well this star seems to have known many outburst these years, increasing observations may constraint a possible period
