Dear colleagues, MisV0134, one of the new variable stars discovered in the course of MISAO Project, is identified with NSV11661. This peculiar object is now remarkably bright. Observations are encouraged. Here is the discovery announcement of MisV0134 posted to vsnet-obs: > Dear colleagues, > > New variable star discovery by the MISAO Project (MisV0134). > > MisV0134 > R.A. 19h01m38s.64 > Decl. +15o43'08".0 (2000.0) > Mag. 13.5C-14.4C > Type ? > = IRAS 18593+1538 R.A.=19 01 38.62 Decl.=+15 43 06.6 (25 x 5", p.a.=78) flux(12)=0.67 flux(25)=0.59 flux(60)=<0.40 flux(100)=<3.83 99% variable > > http://vsnet.info.waseda.ac.jp/muraoka/members/seiichi/misao/data/MisV/MisV0134.gif > > MisV0134 990429.71020 138C Mis > MisV0134 990429.71065 138C Mis > MisV0134 990531.72227 135C Mis > MisV0134 990531.72512 135C Mis > MisV0134 990707.66617 144C Mis > MisV0134 990707.66662 142C Mis > > It was detected by the PIXY system as one of the candidates of new > variable stars from images taken by KenIchi Kadota, Ageo City, > Saitama, Japan, then confirmed by Seiichi Yoshida. > > NSV11661 is 103 arcsec from this object, but they will be different. Taichi Kato found that NSV11661 is near by this position. But the difference is large as 103 arcsec. So I judged they are different objects. However, Taichi Kato investigated Hoffmeister's issue and found they are the same object. Here is the data of NSV11661: 190133.5 +154421 (2000.0) NSV11661 L 17 20.: P B2 There are some remarkable points. 1. It is very faint in Hoffmeister's issue, but it is much brighter in our observations. 2. Spectrum is already observed despite of the faintness. 3. Hoffmeister's issue reported the evident color was not found, although it is identified with IRAS object. Again, further observations are encouraged.
