Observing campaign on BM Ori and the Trapezium region
Active Dates: Dec. 1, 2010 – Jan. 31, 2011
Abstract:
The AAVSO requests ground-based observations of the Trapezium region of the Orion Nebula (M42) and surrounding regions in Orion, in conjunction with upcoming observations with the MOST Satellite. This exploratory proposal aims to search for low-amplitude variability in these young stars due to pulsations, magnetic activity and rotation, or accretion processes.
Justification:
Observations are required to explore low-amplitude variability in young stars in the Trapezium using the MOST satellite. Observations before, during, and after the observing window are requested. High-precision photometry and time-series observations of fainter sources are needed to improve understanding of these objects.
