ZTFJ070412.91-112403.2: A KH 15D like object with additional variability?

Authors: Klaus Bernhard, Peter Frank, Wolfgang Moschner, Udo Reffke

Abstract:   ZTFJ070412.91-112403.2 exhibits characteristics and variability reminiscent of a KH 15D binary system accompanied by a circumbinary disk.
The corresponding ephemeris for this system is Min I = 2458238.8(5) + E* 34.57(2). However, there appears to be additional variability beyond what is typical
for a KH 15D object, potentially attributable to surrounding dust clouds.

The peculiar light curve of S CrB 2022-2023

Author: Matthias Kolb

Abstract:   S CrB is a Mira star and was discovered in 1860 by Karl Henke (Marienwerder, Germany). The AAVSO database shows brightness data since 1864. The revised period
of the pulsation is 360.1 days, therefore 159 maxima can be identified to a reasonable accuracy. The average maximum brightness (visual and V band) is around 7 mag.
The 2022 maximum showed a record brightness of 5.2 mag (Visual, V band: 5.4) which is approx. three sigma above the average brightness. After that, the brightness declined
to 13.2 mag, not a record but very faint compared to previous minima. The 2023 maximum is around 8.2 mag which is the second faintest maximum ever and it was an
extraordinary flat one. All this can be statistical coincidence, but it is at least an amazing curiosity, if not a hint for more fundamental changes in the state of the star’s development.

Improved elements of the eclipsing binary ASASSN-V J190646.62+293110.4 Lyr

Authors: Wolfgang Moschner, Peter Frank, Klaus Bernhard

Abstract: The authors present a phased light curve and an improved period of  ASASSN-V J190646.62+293110.4 Lyr. Because a weak Min II was discovered, the period
listed in the ASAS-SN catalogue had to be halved. In addition, the ATLAS period could be significantly improved.

Observations of RR Lyrae star IL Gem

Authors: Gisela Maintz, Wolfgang Moschner

Abstract: IL Gem is an RR Lyrae star of type RRab. It was discovered in 1963 by Hoffmeister but has been neglected for about 50 years. New observations were done by members of BAV at private observatories. New elements were calculated: 2458521.3446 + 0.4994505 *E

Abstract: V505 Ser is a short-period eclipsing RS CVn system discovered by Bernhard (2005).We here report on new unfiltered and BVRI observations taken in 2018 and 2019 that enlarge the time span of observations to 20 years and provide further evidence for the previously suspected spot cycle duration of about 5.5 years. The next maximum of activity will probably occur in 2020.

A New Sample of Mid-Infrared Bright, Long-Period Mira Variables from the MACHO Galactic Bulge Fields

Authors:  Klaus Bernhard, Stefan Uttenthaler, Stefan Hümmerich

Abstract: Mid-infrared bright objects in the direction of the Galactic Bulge were investigated using time series photometry from the MACHO data archive, which led to the discovery of a large number of long-period variables. Among these, a total of 192 bona-fide Mira variables was identified, which – to the best of our knowledge – are reported here for the first time. Together with the results from our previous investigations, we thereby bring the number of Mira variables found in the MACHO Galactic Bulge fields to a new total of 1286 stars. Light curves, folded light curves and summary data for all new Mira variables are presented and their properties in colour-colour, period-colour and period-luminosity space are investigated. In agreement with our expectations, the present sample of mid-infrared bright objects is composed mostly of luminous, long-period variables.

AAVSO-BAV-ARAS Campaign:
Photometry and Spectroscopy of P Cygni Cyclic Variation (Period 310 day) of the intrinsic Hα line flux 
Intermediate Report 2016

Author: Ernst Pollmann

Abstract: With the combined campaign of the Luminous Blue Variablestar P Cyg, we are trying for the first time by way of simultaneous measurements of photometrical Vbrightness and Hα  equivalent width (EW), to realize a long-term monitoring of the intrinsic Hα line flux. To find out if and how the flux obtained from the spectral line profiles varies, the EW measurements is corrected for the effect of variation of the continuum flux. The photometrical observers of the AAVSO, observer of the BAV and spectroscopical observer of the ARAS group started this campaign in November 2008 in order to continue former investigations[1] & [2],whose results are based on multi-daily averaging of Vmag and EW. We receive with our data a reliable reference of a clear dominant period of 310 day of the intrinsic flux of the Hα emission.

Light curve and period of the Blazhko RRc star GSC 03529-02286 and GSC 2.3 N0ZY002187, a new variable in the field

Author: Rainer Gröbel   

Abstract: By analysis of SWASP and CRTS data, Bernhard et al. (2013) have recently shown that GSC 03529-02286 (18 14 48.187 +47 10 03.12, J2000) is an RRc type variable showing indications of Blazhko effect. A night by night reanalysis of SWASP data yielded 70 maxima and 73 minima times which revealed a Blazhko period PB = 20.26 d. CCD observations on 13 nights in August 2013 yielded another 11 maxima and 4 minima times, covering a little more than one Blazhko cycle. It could be shown that the secondary period prevails until now. The ephemeris for the maxima could be improved to

HJD (Max.) = 2456495.4317(37) + 0.27719643(46) d x E.

The CCD observations also revealed a short period eclipsing variable in the vicinity (GSC2.3 N0ZY002187; 18 14 26.76 +47 19 09.38, J2000) showing shallow 0.15 mag. deep eclipses with the ephemeris HJD (Min.) = 2456493.3980(6) + 0.340055(12) x E.
