Quasicyclic Light Changes in Three Low Mass T Tauri Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
During a photographic survey of the Chamaeleon T association in 1971/1972, evidence was found for quasiperiodic light changes of three variable stars, see Mauder and Sosna (1975). The period of 6.2 days for SY Cha is well seen, the periods of 7 days for VZ Cha and of 8 days for TW Cha are less pronounced. Intrinsic variations are present in addition to the cyclic variations. The three stars were classified by Hoffmeister (1963) as T Tauri type stars from their light variations. Objective prism spectra obtained by Henize and Mendoza (1973) confirm this classification, they found conspicuous emission lines. For SY Cha and TW Cha they got slit spectra, too, which show the typical veiling. The stars SY Cha, TW Cha and VZ Cha have been observed in the UBV system from 1974 March 12 until 1974 March 22, using the ESO standard photometer. In Figures 1 - 3 the light and colour curves are given for SY Cha, TH Cha and VZ Cha. Each point is a mean of generally 8 to 12 integrations, each integration lasting 5 seconds.
