(cba:news) ES Ceti, back in the morning sky, sorta kinda (Joe Patterson) [2017-05-28T13:46:14Z]


Hi CBAers,

I'm about finished with a paper on ES Ceti. It's (arguably) just creeping back into the morning sky for southern observers - still way too early in the season for our usual many-hours time series. However, since the binary period is only 10 minutes, you get a lot of bang for your buck with this star. A few time series of one-hour duration would enable me to time the shallow "eclipses" accurately. If you can accomplish that within the next month*, it would be great!
Two other short-period stars, well known to many CBAers and available to 
all hemispheres, are back in the morning sky: AO Psc and FO Aqr.  Both 
easy targets, and the subjects of (our) long-term timing studies later 
this year.  Good choices.

*Later would be good, too. But I do want to send this paper off pretty soon.
