Optical monitoring of NSV 24045 = HD 163296

Active Dates: March 15, 2018 – Sept. 30, 2018


Abstract:

Evan A. Rich (Ph.D. candidate, University of Oklahoma), Drs. John Wisniewski (University of Oklahoma), John Tobin (University of Oklahoma), Carol Grady (Goddard Space Flight Center), and Mike Sitko (University of Cincinnati) seek AAVSO assistance to monitor the Young Stellar Object NSV 24045 (HD 163296).

Justification:

Confirm the Ellerbroek et al. 2014 prediction of HH knot ejection in 2018 and investigate the mechanisms causing periodic ejections. Compare optical observations with radio and near-IR campaigns to constrain mechanisms causing variability in HD 163296.
