[vsnet-alert 1665] Possible fading of FG Sge

[Taichi Kato <tkato>]

Possible fading of FG Sge

   FG Sge, peculiar variable star, a candidate post final helium flash
object, may be fading as indicated by the following observations.
The latest deep fading was observed in early-mid 1996.  Since that time
the system gradually recovered to the "usual" maximum level.  Possibility
still exists that the present birhgteness may be within the range of the
star's usual variation at maximum.  Please keep a close eye on FG Sge.
