Dear colleagues, New variable star discovery by the MISAO Project (MisV0988). MisV0988 R.A. 19h40m18s.05 Decl. +18o24'40".3 (2000.0) Mag. 12.0C-13.2C Type SR? = IRAS 19380+1817 R.A.=19 40 18.30 Decl.=+18 24 39.4 (29 x 6", p.a.=75) flux(12)=1.40 flux(25)=0.69 flux(60)=<0.40 flux(100)=<32.92 2% variable = 2MASS 194018.122 +182439.41 (2000.0) 7.413 6.082 5.360 http://vsnet.aerith.net/misao/data/MisV/MisV0988.gif MisV0988 19990715.63538 131C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV0988 19990715.63604 132C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV0988 20000525.66708 121C Mis image="Nobuo Ohkura" MisV0988 20000525.66894 120C Mis image="Nobuo Ohkura" Seiichi Yoshida, MISAO Project; Nobuo Ohkura, Okayama, Japan; and KenIchi Kadota, Ageo, Saitama, Japan, discovered a new variable star MisV0988. It was picked up by Yoshida from the candidates of new variable stars detected by the PIXY system from images taken by Ohkura comparing with images taken by Kadota. Kadota and Yoshida judged it as a real variable star. The magnitude are measured automatically by the PIXY system. Image observers' names are noted after "Mis". The identification with the 2MASS data is by Taichi Kato. XX Sge is 2.3 arcmin from MisV0988. XX Sge is an ecliptic binary, detected at 14.0 mag on these images. MisV0988 is thus a new variable star.
