1 Otero, Sebastian Alberto The 1998 eclipse was 68 days late according to the ephemeris by Gaposchkin JD 2421070 + 7430 x E. Eclipse duration is variable (from 8 to 13%).
2 GCVS Team VB (0.05", 174deg, 1950)? 0.066P <= D <= 0.091P; 0.040P <= d <= 0.077P. Depth of eclipses: 2.30m (lambda 3500 A), 1.9m (U), 0.4m (B). M-component is of SRC type: Max = 2443045 + 118.37d*E [M.Saito, H.Sato, K.Saijo, T.Hayasaka, PAS Japan 32, 163-177, 1980., G.P.McCook, E.F.Guinan, IBVS N1385, 1978.]; A(V) <= 0.33m. Light oscillations are also noted with P ~58d [L.Baldinelli, S.Ghedini, S.Marmi, IBVS N1675, 1979.], 25d and 150d [G.Hill, G.L.C.Aikman, R.W.Hilditch, E.L.Pfannenschmidt, P.F.Younger, Victoria Publ 15, N10, 389, 1980.]. B-component may be also an intrinsic variable [G.Larsson-Leander, Stockh Medd N96, 1957.]. Gaseous streams. Strong variable magnetic field.
