[vsnet-alert 2720] Re: V2038 Sgr

[bas@lowell.Lowell.Edu (Brian Skiff)]

     Zwitter and Munari (1996 A&A Suppl. 117, 449) have published results
from spectra of this object.  They find it to be a late-type star with
hydrogen emission, i.e. this is a Mira, not a CV.  They give the type as M4.
This makes the IRAS identification certain, especially given the detection
only at 12-microns, despite the very large positional error ellipse on the
IRAS source.  The star is basically unstudied otherwise, so clearly "needs
work" from observers to establish a period.  This is another good case for
someone observing with a small telescope + CCD.
