Dear Colleagues,
We are now observing V344 Ori, and confirmed the object
is still bright, and continueing gradual fading.
VSNET V344 Ori collaboration team has received 6 hours
time-series photometry on January 22/23 by B. Martin and
BVR images on January 20 from M. Moilanen (thanks!).
From Moilanen's images, I performed preliminary photometry
and estimate B-V=0.271 and V-R=0.246 of V344 Ori using Henden's sequence.
In the light curve by Martin, we can see two maxima whose interval
is about 3 - 4 hours, and shorter time-scale modulations are also seen.
The strange activity still continues.
Regards,
Makoto Uemura
