[Aavso-photometry] BZ UMa Update: 050120

[Michael Koppelman]

I made new plots of the outburst using all the AAVSO CCDV data. These 
are binned to 0.01d. I adjusted two sets of observations by 0.05 to 
correct for what looks like a zeropoint difference. I did not use the 
newest data from the quiescent level because it doesn't bin well at 
this resolution.

The binned plot on the magnitude scale is here:

The binned plot in a flux scale is here:

The flux here is from the Zombeck book and is what he describes as "the 
spectral irradiance in erg cm^-2 s^-1 A^-1...at the top of the Earth's 
atmosphere". It does not take interstellar reddening into account 
either.

Cheers,
