HFG1: A Planetary Nebula with a Close-Binary Nucleus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
HFG1 (136+5°1) is a large, low-surface-brightness planetary nebula that was discovered by Heckathorn, Fesen, and Gull (Astrpn. Astronphys., 114, 414, 1982). in the autumn of 1986, photoelectric photometry by A.D.G. and H.E.B. showed that the 14th-mag central star of HFG1 is a large-amplitude variable. Subsequent CCD photometry by R.C. and H.E.B. reveals a sinusoidal variation with a period of 13.96 hr and an amplitude of 1.1 mag in the B band.
