PRISER (Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Arizona, U.S.A.) PHOTOELECTRIC OBSERVATIONS OF VARIABLE STARS Budapest, 1967 PHOTOELECTRIC OBSERVATIONS OF VARIABLE STARS JOHN B. PRISER* Lowell Observatory Flagstaff, Arizona INTRODUCTION Twenty-eight variable and suspected variable stars were chosen for observation (see Table No. 1) from the "General Catalogue of Variable Stars". An attempt was made to choose stars of questionable classification and also to include some semi-regular and irregular variables which had not been well observed. The stars were also chosen for favorable positions in the sky for the observing period involved. EQUIPMENT All observations were made with the Lowell Observatory 21-inch reflector and other photoelectric equipment used for the Solar Variation Program. This equipment includes a photometer with a 1P21, standard B and V filters, a GR 1230 DC amplifier, and a Brown recorder. OBSERVATIONS The 1P21 was cooled with dry ice at least two hours prior to the beginning of observations, and dry ice was added each two hours thereafter during the night. Every six or eight weeks the amplifier was calibrated in half and two and a half magnitude steps (Serkowski, 1961). The deflections were recorded on a Brown recorder strip-chart potentiometer in the sequence B, sky B, V, sky V; these were followed by observations of a radioactive source and the dark current. Many primary and secondary UBV standard stars were observed at various air masses throughout the night (Johnson and Harris, 1954) in order to determine the extinction and color corrections. No observations were made within three days of full moon and no observations were attempted if clouds were suspected. REDUCTIONS The reductions were made by means of the formulae and least-squares method described by Serkowski (1961) *Presently at the Flagstaff Station of the U. S. Naval Observatory. LIGHT CURVES Drawings showing B, V, and B-V data are given (Figures 1-17) for 17 of the 28 stars observed. Only the most interesting data are shown. The B observations are shown by filled circles, the V observations by the open circles, and the B-V color points below. DESCRIPTION OF TABLE AND FIGURES Table No. 1 lists all stars observed. The first four columns list the star names, the type of variable, the period and the spectral types as given in the "General Catalogue of Variable Stars" (second edition). The fifth and sixth columns list the observed B-V values at maximum and minimum light. Figure 18 is a B-V vs. spectral type diagram for the 28 stars. The long dashed line represents the main-sequence and the small dashed line below the yellow giants according to Johnson and Morgan (1953). Most of the variables plotted appear to lie close to the giant sequence if one assumes that the giant branch crosses the main-sequence at approximately B-V = + 1.6. Figure 19 is the observed color B-V amplitude vs. the visual V magnitude amplitude. This indicates that a large amplitude in brightness necessitates a large color change for this group of stars. Figure 20 shows the relation between the log of the period and color at minimum light, after Kron and Svolopoulas (1959) and transformed to the B, V system. The small filled circles to the left indicate 25 galactic cepheid variables observed at minimum light by Eggen, Gascoigne, and Burr (1957) and transformed here to B-V. The open circles to the right show the 12 semiregular variables observed at minimum light by Smak (1964). The large filled circles to the right are observations from this paper where a period could be found. The author extends thanks to John S. Hall, G. E. Kron and K. Serkowski for their help in writing this paper.
