Dear colleagues, New variable star discovery by the MISAO Project (MisV1023). MisV1023 R.A. 19h56m53s.59 Decl. +36o48'06".3 (2000.0) Mag. 10.5C-11.5C Type SR: = IRAS 19550+3639 R.A.=19 56 53.41 Decl.=+36 48 04.8 (21 x 4", p.a.=68) flux(12)=1.94 flux(25)=1.22 flux(60)=<0.79 flux(100)=<12.62 7% variable = 2MASS 195653.668 +364807.56 (2000.0) 5.957 0.000 0.000 http://vsnet.aerith.net/misao/data/MisV/MisV1023.gif MisV1023 19990430.69260 111C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 19990430.69302 111C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 19990707.67861 114C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 19990707.67904 112C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 19990801.61182 115C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 19990801.61227 115C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 19990803.65602 114C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 19990803.65657 115C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 19990831.63065 109C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 19990831.63108 109C Mis image="KenIchi Kadota" MisV1023 20000804.51300 106C Mis image="Nobuo Ohkura" MisV1023 20000804.51486 105C Mis image="Nobuo Ohkura" Seiichi Yoshida, MISAO Project; Nobuo Ohkura, Okayama, Japan; and KenIchi Kadota, Ageo, Saitama, Japan, discovered a new variable star MisV1023. 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". NSV 12608 is 3.1 arcmin from MisV1023. No star brighter than 14.8 mag was detected at the position of NSV 12608. However, Dr. Brian Skiff and John Greaves researched the chart in Nassau & Cameron, ApJ 119, 175 (1954) and revealed that MisV1023 is a new variable star. The identification with the 2MASS data is by Taichi Kato.
