            NEW BRIGHT EARLY TYPE ECLIPSING VARIABLE

     During the photoelectric measurements of some OB stars in
Auriga, the variability of HD 35 652 (BD +34deg1051) was detected. The
elements are:

        Min I = J.D. 243 8448.406 + 1d.81150.E.

type EB. The depth in primary minimum is 0m.48, in secondary 0m.39
(V magnitudes). In maximum we have V=8m.19, B-V=+0m.22 and U-B=
-0m.71. HD Catalogue gives for this star only type B. The star is
included in a list of radial velocities of B stars (Petrie and Pearce,
Victoria Publ. 12, 1, 1962) as B5nn, with a note that the star may be
a double spectrum binary. The colours obtained by us indicate that
the type is earlier than, B5; a private communication by Petrie
supports this. Hence, HD 35 652 is a very interesting case of
eclipsing variables.

      3. BD -18deg206  9.3

      Our classification of the star as a Nova was based on its 
invisibility on all our plates taken at Bamberg since 1932.
