1 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Also BCEP variations with P= 0.105597 d. Quintuple system. A has V= 1.35 and is a spectroscopic binary (AaAb) with P= 75.769 d. B has V= 1.74. AB sep. 5". It is uncertain which components show the recorded variability. Combined magnitude and amplitude of AB given. Alf Cru C (NSV 19389, V= 4.85, AC sep. 90") is also a spectroscopic binary.
