Dear colleagues, New variable star discovery by the MISAO Project (MisV0842). MisV0842 R.A. 18h00m06s.06 Decl. -29o28'47".8 (2000.0) Mag. 11.7C-<14.0C Type ? = USNO-A2.0_0600.29900330 18 00 06.401 -29 28 51.46 12.7R 16.5B = IRAS 17568-2928 R.A.=18 00 05.40 Decl.=-29 28 52.6 (38 x 6", p.a.=92) flux(12)=1.32 flux(25)=<2.09 flux(60)=<7.52 flux(100)=<102.30 http://vsnet.aerith.net/misao/data/MisV/MisV0842.gif MisV0842 19990923.43545 119C Mis MisV0842 19990923.43589 117C Mis MisV0842 20000224.83931 <140C Mis MisV0842 20000224.83986 <140C Mis It was detected by the PIXY system as one of the candidates of new variable stars from images taken by KenIchi Kadota, Ageo City, Saitama, Japan, then confirmed by Seiichi Yoshida. The magnitude are measured automatically by the PIXY system. Image observers' names are noted after "Mis", except for ones taken by KenIchi Kadota. V998 Sgr is 2.9 arcmin from MisV0842, that was detected as a 14.1 mag star. MisV0842 is thus a new variable star. MisV0090 is also 1.1 arcmin from MisV0842, which is another variable star.
