1 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Close eclipsing binary made up of a B1.5IV primary (the Aa component) and a pre-main sequence star (PMS; Ab component). Ephemeris using Hipparcos data: HJD 2448165.687 + 5.9525 x E. Also a constant B2IV star (component B) in a 1052.8 d orbit with the close A pair. Combined light given. (A is V= 2.1 and B is V= 2.75)
2 GCVS Team SB1. Porb = 5.6d? Apuls = 0.02m. Long period light changes: Max = 2440376.15 + 10.1605d*E [N.R.Lomb, R.R.Shobbrook, MN 173, 709, 1975.]. One eclipse was found (JD2440690, A ~0.04m) [R.R.Shobbrook, N.R.Lomb, MN 156, 181, 1972.].
