Stellar Notes
SRd 4.75 - 5.50V. Spectrum variable. Variable NII emission. Probable nonradial pulsations coupled with mass loss. | Phase between V and B-V curves changed between 1980 and 1985, from half phase out of cycle to in phase. Cycles on | time scale of about a year. Bimodal radial pulsation inferred (Sheffer and Lambert 1987, PASP, 99, 1277) from analysis | of a decade of spectroscopic observations. As opposed to remarks on spectral type, the star appears to be getting | bluer (IBVS 3170), implying an increase in temperature of 800 K over the past decade.
Cep OB1.
Formerly classified G0Ia, but is intrinsically considerably brighter. Also classified F8e-KIa + BIV. According to | Morgan and Keenan (1973, ARA&A, 11, 29) spectrum has varied slowly from G0 0 to G5 0 over the last 20 years.
