Abstract

AbstractWe report on the results of our 2004 monitoring program of M22, designed to search for CVs undergoing dwarf nova (DN) eruptions. We wish to compare these globular cluster systems to similar ones in the field and determine if their different formation mechanisms result in different properties. We present a light curve for a CV candidate that went into outburst during May. Data were reduced with the ISIS image subtraction routine. Our ground-based results are consistent with previous HST measurements, and confirm the DN nature of the outburst. We also report on further attempts to apply the ISIS software to look for additional outbursts of this object during 2004 as well as to identify other variable candidates in the core of M22.
