Abstract

(Abstract only) BW Vul is a pulsating variable star of the class BCEP. Review of the AID over the last 20 years reveals only scattered visual observations. Since 2011, a few CCD observations have been obtained with the BSMs, but not enough to obtain any knowledge of the light curve other than a mean color. Rapid cadence time series of BW Vul are currently underway using the AAVSOnet. The data generated should allow for modeling of the light curve and an updated ephemeris of Tmin values with O–C analysis.
