The 82nd Name-List of Variable Stars. Part I - RA 0hr to 18hr, Novae and Globular-cluster Variables

Pastukhova, E. N.; Khruslov, A. V.; Samus, N. N. +3 more

We present the first part of a new Name-List of variable stars containing information on 1291 variable stars recently designated in the system of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars. With the exception of Novae and other unusual variables named upon request from the IAU CBAT or by our initiative, these stars are in the range of J2000.0 right a…

Distance, Luminosity and evolutionary status of epsilon Aurigae (F0Iaep) from Gaia DR2 parallax

Muneer, S.; Parthasarathy, M.

From Gaia DR2 parallax of epsilon Aurigae the distance, Mv, Mbol, and log(L*/LMsun) are found to be 445 parsecs, -6.5 mag, -6.5 mag, and 4.5 respectively. These results clearly indicate that epsilon Aurigae (F0Iae) is post-AGB star. The progenitor of epsilon Aurigae is most likely an intermediate mass star of 4 to 5 solar masses or the progenitor …

A New Variable in the Field of WD1145+017

Serebryanskiy, A.

Revisit of the CCD archive obtained during long-time monitoring of the white dwarf WD1145+015 at Tien-Shan Observatory revealed a new variable star, identified as Gaia DR2 3796400796427214848. It was inferred that this star is of spectral type G7V-G8V. The amount of photometric data allows performing detailed analysis of this target, revealing its…
