[vsnet-campaign 868] New Haseda variable (HadV82) = WR104, updated data



New Haseda variable (HadV82) = WR104, updated data

>    Katsumi Haseda (Aichi, Japan) reports the discovery of a new variable
> star (HadV82).  The star is identified with an IR-luminous WR-type star,
> WR104 = Ve2-45.  The striking spectroscopic variability WR104, probably
> associated with photometric fading, was previously reported by Crowther,
> MNRAS 290, L59 (1997).  The suggested photometric fading by Crowther (1997)
> was based on a comparison with previously published photometry, and was
> not very conclusive.  Crowther (1997) also added that past research had
> found no infrared variability.  Crowther (1997) suggested this phenomenon
> to be dust condensation as seen in R CrB-type stars, but the nature of
> variation remained an mystery.  The present discovery by Haseda has not only
> shown that the object is indeed variable in optical, but also that bright
> and faint states appear interchangebly, with a characateris time scale
> of one to a few years.  Since the object is in bright state now, further
> observations are strongly encouraged.

   Haseda further provides the following updated set of photographic
photometry, based on the detailed chart prepared by T. Watanabe.
The former set of observations should be completely superseded.
The resultant data show very large light variations, characterized by
deep fadings.  The exact values may be still subject to a small change,
pending accurate field photometry.
