2) History of Cep X-4.

  Be binary star, the candidate by Roche et al. IAUC 6698, 1997 of X-ray
pulsar Cep X-4, was identified and estimated on 140 plates of Sternberg
Institute plate collection in the time range JD 2434117-49627. The star
was found to vary between 15.2 and 15.8 B. No long time rate changes
of mean light level were found like those, observed in other X-ray Be
binaries (V725 Tau, BQ Cam). Frequency analisys shows only single
possible period 0.6717867 days with small periodic content of 0.15 mag B
(total amplitude). This period should be verified.

The photoelectric observations were made with 70-cm reflector (Mo)
and UBV photometer by Shugarov and Volkov (ShV) by Goranskij (G) and
Karitskaya (Ka).
