(cba:news) More on Var Cas 06 (Joe Patterson) [2006-11-05T10:24:53Z]



Dear CBAers,

Keep after the bright new star in Cas!  We're pressing ahead with it on
every front we can: X-ray, UV, spectroscopy, calibrated photometry, and time-series photometry. For northerners, it's now a perfect target up there in Cas, successfully shrugging off the challenges of the full Moon. The nature of the star seems quite mysterious... a garden-variety A star jumps 4 magnitudes, and still looks like a garden-variety A star!

Message on other stars later today...

BTW a V filter would be a nice choice for a time series. B would be pretty good too.
