vsnet-chat 5084 & reformatted data From: aah@nofs.navy.mil Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2002 09:26:38 -0700 Subject: [vsnet-chat 5084] V838 Mon colors I was able to obtain a UBVRI dataset of this variable last night, with the following results (along with a typical earlier night for comparison): HJD V B-V U-B V-R R-I 52288.8061 9.898 1.671 1.768 0.934 0.874 52309.6288 7.464 1.126 0.260 0.710 0.794 with all errors under 0.01mag. As you can see, VRI colors are pretty consistent with earlier in the outburst, but the U and B colors have changed dramatically. It will be interesting to see calibrated spectra from the recent brightening.
