classification scheme of variable stars).

The L type is asigned to slow pulsating red stars and not to every star with
an uncertain classification. The * symbol is used for them. EsB365 is not
showing signs of eruptive variability and I agree with Brian Skiff in that
maybe it is an SR. But it is not showing any periodicity.
I have a long list of suspected and ex-suspected RCB's and I'm constantly
observing LV TrA, given as RCB: in the GCVS. But you can't  be too confident
in classifications: Taking a look at The 75th Name List of Variable Stars
with the new GCVS designated stars, we can find ZETA PUPPIS, an O5Iaf
supergiant classified as a BY: , when BY's are defined as dwarfs of dKe and
dMe spectral type.

Let's keep on observing and we'll find out.

Sebasti疣 Otero.
