1 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Previous predictions were based on wrong position angle measurements. The star is much likely an eclipsing binary. If a secondary eclipse occurs, the main predicted date of eclipse is 2461051 (2026 Jan. 11) (2015AJ....150..140M).
2 Otero, Sebastian Alberto No eclipses recorded by AAVSO observers at the expected date HJD 2457047.50. Orbital period 9485.68 d.
3 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Combined magnitude given in the table. A= 4.98V (B-V= 0.44); B= 5.18V (B-V= 0.47); sep. 0.0-0.7".
4 GCVS Team ADS 8804 (5.05, 5.05, 0".2, 12deg, 1973; P=25.3 years); i=~90deg. Eclipses are possible.
