[vsnet-id 469] NSV 22245 is now bright

[Hitoshi YAMAOKA <yamaoka@rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp>]

Dear coleagues,

  I have been informed that NSV 22245 appears very bright in this
June.  It was mag about 12 (CCD) on June 11.6, and was also mag about
12, but slightly fainter than on June 11-12.

  In GCVS, this variable is catalogued as:

22245*|172642.5-261743 |172949.0-262001|      | 15.7  |  18.     :|R |1170|1170| 

  NSV 22245 (=Terz V2304, Terzan and Gosset, 1991, A&AS, 90, 415) was
discovered by comparison of the ESO plates, so the catalogued
magnitude range can be (greatly) narrower than the actual variability.
And, according to IRAS and 2MASS, this object is a bright IR source. 

IRAS 17267-2617 17 29 48.9   -26 20 01   F_12=1.93 F_25=0.812
	F_60=0.611 F_100=1.09
2MASS           17 29 48.90  -26 20 02.4 J=8.866 H=7.278 K=6.234

Thus, this variable is likely the red variable, not a burster.  

Sincerely Yours,
