UBV LIGHT CURVES OF $\zeta$ AUR STAR 32 CYGNI

  • Published : 1992.12.01

Abstract

UBV observations of $\zeta$ Aur star 32 Cyg have been made at the Yonsei University Observatory using the 60-cm Goto relflector for five years, 1988-1992. Observations made during these years cover outside of eclipse phase only. No significant light variation which would represent the secondary eclipse of red supergiant by a hot main sequence star is found. The light levels in three passbands do not show any evidence of the proximate effect of this binary system. Some strong light variations, particularly in U, are discussed with no successful explanation.
