[vsnet-ecl 307] KV CMa first eclipse detected

["Sebastian Otero" <varsao@fullzero.com.ar>]

Last night I detected an eclipse of the Hipparcos EA star KV CMa.

Hipparcos had detected just one so, unlike V438 Pup, more observations are needed to find a period.

Yesterday I suspected something was different (the star at 7.2- 7.3 but with doubts...) Tonight the star was at 7.3- 7.4.

The eclipse may be long and so the period. That would explain the lack of eclipse observations from Hipparcos.

Moreover, the eclipse observed by the satellite seemed to be long, so yesterday's observation may be not error after all.

 

Tomorrow I'll send the data with my report.

 

Best regards,

Sebastian.
