Re: [vsnet-chat 1606] Re: V491 Car > Could the variabilty be spurious due the star being a close visual > double? The data on the Tycho side suggest no variability. The Tycho data on this star consist of a close pair: 095530.0 -575714 (2000.0) 938E 0.83 TYC8606.795.1 (0.03 0.04) 095530.2 -575716 (2000.0) 939E 0.71 TYC8606.795.2 (0.03 0.04) (The flag "E" means a possible large error). I tend to prefer Skiff's interpretation, but don't know why some measurements are magnitudes fainter than the either component. Regards, Taichi Kato
