Hi,
I think in a couple of years we will wonder why so many variables at
the 0.1 mag level were not detected yet.... They probably were but
what do you do with them. For visual observers variations of less than
0.5 mag are not interesting.
Well, I might be talking conflicting evidence here. I have a number of
such 'constant' stars I monitor on occasion. I can't call them
variables as they are evolving so far at very low amplitudes, not
discernable with the eye. I just lurking and hope for the big
cataclysmic happening: in case you wondered, it concerns HMXBs and
symbiotic systems without a past, well with no known history.....some
people in office wished they could state this too!
Best regards,
Berto
