Abstract:

Dr. Donald F. Collins, Dr. Robert Zavala, Jason Sanborn, and Dr. Anatoly Miroshnichenko have requested highly time-resolved observations of the bright star b Persei during the upcoming predicted secondary eclipse of the third star as it passes behind the AB inner pair.

Justification:

The close-orbiting binary pair shows ellipsoidal variation and the third star undergoes eclipses with the close-orbiting binary pair. Observations of these eclipses, both primary and secondary, contribute to understanding the system's dynamics.
