(fwd) V445 Pup (Liller) Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 11:25:05 -0500 From: "W.Liller" <wliller@compuserve.com> Subject: [vsnet-campaign-nova 158] V445 Pup (Kanatsu Object) Your remark about CK Vul leads me to suggest that V445 Pup is perhaps similar to the hydrogen deficient cataclysmic variables CR Boo, CP Eri and V803 Cen, the main difference being temperature. These stars all show strong helium lines, both neutral and ionized, in emission and negative B-V colors, unlike V445 Pup. Jan. 14 was a good clear night and I was able to follow V445 for 6 hours and 34 minutes beginning at 2:45 UT making a 5-second integration every five minutes with a CCD and a broadband V filter. Preliminary anaysis shows no variation during this period (rms +/- 0.07 mag), and a period search program turned up nothing. = Soosoo. William Lilleru
