AAVSO Alert Notice 624
Observations requested for ASASSN-18ey = MAXI J1820+070
March 19, 2018: Drs. Gregory Sivakoff (University of Alberta), Poshak Gandhi (University of Southampton), and Diego Altamirano (University of Southampton) have requested AAVSO observers' assistance in monitoring the new black hole X-ray binary candidate ASASSN-18ey = MAXI J1820+070.
The X-ray transient MAXI J1820+070 was discovered on 2018 March 11.5347 UT by MAXI (Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image; ATel #11399). It was matched with the optical counterpart ASASSN-18ey (ATel #11400), which was discovered by the ASAS-SN project on 2018 Mar. 06.59 UT (list of ASAS-SN Transients).
Since then at least 12 observing campaigns have been carried out using a variety of space- and ground-based instruments (references include ATel #11403, #11404, #11406, #11418, #11420, #11421, #11423, #11424, #11425, #11426, #11427, #11432, #11437, #11439).
In support of multiwavelength observing campaigns underway, being planned, and in development, AAVSO observers are requested to monitor this active black hole X-ray binary.
Dr. Gandhi writes: "At present, we find that the source shows red flaring on timescales apparently down to milli-seconds. So my primary recommendation would be to use redder filters and as short exposures as possible. The source appears to be approaching V404 Cyg levels of brightness, so that could be a useful comparison. It is not obvious that it displays the spectacular variations that V404 Cyg showed on ~minutes to hours and days. But there is clear and strong variability on timescales of ~seconds and less.
"Latest observations now find [g'~12.03 mag and i'~12.24 (ATel #11439)], so the outburst continues to brighten (quickly) for now, and we may expect a transition in the source properties soon, assuming this is a canonical black hole binary. Observations over the next ~weeks (or until the source fades, if that happens earlier) would be very useful to catch the long-term evolution. Unfiltered [photometry] is acceptable as long as there is a consistent dataset."
ASASSN-18ey = MAXI J1820+070 has a published optical range of 12.5 CV - 18.3: V. The most recent observations submitted to the AAVSO International Database are:
2018 Mar. 18.31398 UT, 12.502 CV +/-0.025 (F.-J. Hambsch, Mol, Belgium);

Charts with a comparison star sequence for ASASSN-18ey may be created using the AAVSO Variable Star Plotter (VSP). You may use either ASASSN-18ey or MAXI J1820+070 as the name when creating a chart.
Please submit observations to the AAVSO International Database using the name ASASSN-18ey.
