0735-40 CGCS 1825 - NEW RED VARIABLE IN PUPPIS
Active Dates: Jan. 7, 2000 – Jan. 14, 2000
Abstract:
Paul Camilleri, Cobram, Victoria, Australia, has discovered a new variable, likely a long period variable, in Puppis at magnitude 9.5 on three films taken January 7.508 UT using an 85-mm camera lens. Camilleri also observed the star visually on Jan 8.47 at magnitude 9.5 with a strong red color.
Justification:
Observers are encouraged to monitor this variable now, while it appears to be near maximum, and throughout its entire cycle, so that its nature may be determined. Because the star is so red, please be very careful in making your observations that you do not look at the variable for any length of time.
