[vsnet-chat 7769] New variable star MisV1447

[Seiichi Yoshida]

Dear colleagues,

I am Seiichi Yoshida working on the MISAO Project.

Masaru Mukai, Kagoshima, Japan, discovered a new variable star
MisV1447.

On Jan. 1, 2012, Mukai investigated his survey images taken on
Dec. 17, 2011, with Nikon 105-mm f/2.8 camera-lens and STL6303E
camera, and found a possible brightening of this star. It looks
fainter than a nearby star GSC 0716-01435 on his past images between
Mar. 4 and Dec. 4, 2011, but it looks brighter on Dec. 17.

Seiichi Yoshida, MISAO Project, investigated the survey images by 
Youichirou Nakashima, Okayama, Japan, with Canon 500-mm f/4.5 camera
lens and SBIG ST-8 in the course of the MISAO Project, and confirmed
the variation of this star. We assigned a new variable star number of
the MISAO Project, MisV1447, to this star.

Mukai and Yoshida found this star is identified with IRAS 05549+0849.
So this star will be a Mira type variable.

The position measured from Nakashima's images is R.A. 05h57m38s.99,
Decl. +08o49'25".8 (J2000.0).

The amplitude during one year from early 2011 to early 2012 is
10.9-<13.3 mag from Mukai's unfiltered CCD images, or 8.8-9.9 mag from
Nakashima's unfiltered CCD images. The difference will be due to the
infrared sensitivity of their CCD cameras. Their measurements are
coincident on the other 10-11 mag stars near by MisV1447.

Akira Takao, Kita-Kyushu, Fukuoka, Japan, also confirmed the variation
of 9.9-<13.4 mag from his unfiltered CCD images with 100-mm f/4 camera
lens and STL-6303E, although possibly blended with a nearby 11-mag
star when MisV1447 was bright.
