Following ASASSN-V J060000.76-310027.83

This will (hopefully) be the blog to follow along on the dimming star discovered by Z. Way on 11 December 2019. Lots of follow up observations are being taken, including spectra from SALT, photometry from LCO, and ROAD observatory photometry appearing on aavso.org

Lots of data coming in right now, let's see if I can plot it up and we can see what's going on here.

NOTE this list is incomplete! I will keep it updated as fast as time allows me. This is a list of credits to the observers of this object: it was announced by Zach Way in this Astronomer's Telegram  http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=13346  where the initial dimming of this star is seen. Josch Hambsch saw this ATel and immediately started observing it, increasing the cadence of observations with the ROAD observatory:  http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2012SASS...31...75H Rafik Bourne is planning observations. Edward Gomez has taken data with LCO at g' over the past few night. I've put in a continuing program with LCO and it is observing g' once every two hours. Joseph Rodriguez pulled down the TESS light curve, no obvious eclipse (but will be useful for rotational period determination!) David Buckley and collaborators took a spectrum of the star a few nights later, planning to take more spectra.... Astronomer's Telegrams on J0600 Discovery: ATel...
