Does anyone know the current thinking regarding the variations
in Polaris? I seem to remember reading not so long ago that
it's amplitude had been declining for something like 50 years,
and that perhaps it had now ceased to be a Cepheid altogether!
A couple of students at Birmingham University are desperate
for information on Polaris, so I would be grateful if someone
could help out.
Thanks in advance,
Gary Poyner
