[vsnet-alert 1325] New Algol variable GSC 1062-33 solved

[Ulrich Bastian <s01@ix.urz.uni-heidelberg.de>]

The case of the newly-discovered Algol variable GSC 1062-33
has been unambiguously solved meanwhile. The true period is
12.922/8=1.6165 days (+/- 0.0011 days). The secondary minimum 
is at phase 0.52, approximately. Since the observing season 
for this object is rapidly ending, a more precise value of the 
period cannot be determined in the next few months. Follow-up
observations in subsequent observing seasons will, however,
easily provide a sufficiently precise period. We are about
to write an IBVS note based on the currently available data.    

In passing we would like to mention that during the ongoing
investigation of GSC 1062-33, W. Quester found the immediately
neighbouring star (0.6' distant) GSC 1062-92 to be slowly 
variable by at least 0.1 mag in ST7 CCD + filter KG5/2mm.
