Abstract
The neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Cen X-4 has been in quiescence
for the past ~41 years, after its last reported outburst in 1979. Signs
of a recent (August 2020) brightening were first reported in ATel #14254
thanks to the optical monitoring performed with the Las Cumbres
Observatory (LCO) network of 2-m and 1-m robotic telescopes.
