Hi,

The present discussion on delta Scorpii as a Be or gamma Cas star prompts me
to ask about the latter. Quite a number of blue stars seem listed as gamma
Cas variables yet they don't do anything much. Some we've used as UBV
comparisons for decades without seeing any variation greater than 1%. Now
I'm not querying delta Sco - a good effort by Sebastian and my
congratulations - but I wonder how these others receive their
classifications. Is this from spectral measures, or what? And I wonder how
many blue stars are classed as low amplitude variables purely because of
poor extinction corrections or transformations to the standard UBV system.

Regards,
Stan
