Furthermore I have my doubts regarding some of them being actually variable! One by one: > > LSV+55.2 3690 1948 1 1069 ID / V, B-V from all PEP sources HD 901 / 7.43, 1.26 ; 7.437, 1.279 ; 7.43 it looks very constant!!!!! Even Hipparcos V magnitude is 7.43. > > LSV+57.33 3694 1727 1 BD +56 618 No data > > LSI+61.282 4046 118 1 BD +60 501 / 9.51, 0.45 ; 9.58, 0.44 ; 9.58, 0.45 ; 9.58 ; 9.60, 0.46 ; 9.60 > > LSV+35.12 2402 6 1 2517 HD 2841 / 6.885 Hipparcos magnitude is 6.87. B-V is 1.64. > > LSII+27.26 2148 3858 1 HD 333048 No data > > LSIII+55.25 3973 1031 1 HD 235749 / 8.81, 1.71 ; 8.93, 1.60 This one seems to be an ordinary red variable deserving attention !!! > > LSIII+47.58 3611 701 1 11092 HD 14606 / 7.684, 0.198 And Hipparcos V magntiude is 7.69. Doubtful... > > LSI+59.24 4281 2033 1 HD 240464 / 9.583; 9.59, 0.30 ; 9.59, 0.31 ; 9.62, 0.32 Doesn't seem to be... > > LSS4360 6840 821 1 8689 HD 11326 / 6.589 ; 6.595 ; 6.606 Hipparcos V magnitude 6.59, B-V 1.10. It also looks constant. > > LSS4857 6269 2398 1 HD 167611 / 9.45, 0.19 ; 9.450 ; 9.481 ; 9.52, 0.16 This one looks slightly variable. Regards, Sebastian. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
