Hello! The RCB star V854 Cen has continued to fade as per the recent visual observations. S Aps, however, remains bright but a little below its nominal maximum brightness.

Hi Marcos, V854 Cen is perhaps the most active of the RCB stars and would seem ready for a deep decline, if not overdue. I have noticed its SR variations having a marginally greater amplitude during June and July and that has in previous cases led to a decline onset. My most recent observation was on Thursday, July 28.432UT at magnitude 7.5. That is marginally fainter than usual and with your most recent magnitude of 7.9, it may well indicate the onset of a decline. It will sometimes stall near magnitude 8 and return to maximum but if it goes below magnitude 8.5 then a deep decline is most likely underway. Hopefully the twilight clouds will clear tonight!

Dear VSS friends, last night i observed the RCB star V0854 Cen fainter than the comparison star of mag 7.5. I have observed it here again now and estimated the magnitude of 7.9, we have some cirrus here at the moment, so the star could be a little bit brighter (7.8 or 7.7). But it is still fainter than 7.5 and brighter than 8.2. I'm warning you because this could be the beginning of a fading of the star. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Variable Stars South" group.

[vsnet-alert 26891] MASTER OT J001204.00-412337.4: superhump period
by Taichi Kato 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

MASTER OT J001204.00-412337.4: superhump period Josch Hambsch and Berto Monard have reported new observations. The current superhump period is 0.06105(6) d (probably still stage A). The low amplitude (0.08 mag) is consistent with a period bouncer. Single-night observation by Berto Monard during the initial plateau did not show a strong signature of early superhumps (but had some hint). Early superhumps had probably already decayed at the time of Monard's observation.
