           REMARKS ON FOUR VARIABLE STARS



CSV 5885

CSV 5885 = Wr 67 has been suspected to be a Cepheid (Weber, R.,
1958, J.O. 41.4). Variability could be confirmed and first
elements could be determined from 123 Sky-patrol-plates (1959-
1976):

      Max. = J.D. 24 41598.277 + 1.9881921d.E              (C)
                 (11.30m - 11.90m ph., M - m = 0.35p)


CSV 8736

No observations of this star (BV 120) have been published except
the discovery (Geyer, E., 1955, Kl. Veroff. Remeis-Sternw.
Bamberg No. 11). Eleven maxima were found on Hartha Sky-patrol-
plates (1973-1978) and first elements are:

      Max.(hel.) = J.D. 24 41921.348 + 0.2463557d.E      (RRc)
               (11.21m - 11.49m ph.)


CSV 8883

This star (BV 326) has not been observed since its discovery by
Strohmeier, W. and Knigge, R. (Veroff. d. Remeis-Sternw. Bamberg
Band V.5) in 1960. Elements could be derived from 193 Hartha
Sky-patrol-plates (1959-1976) and an abrupt period change in
1965 October, was detected.
The elements are:
a. for the interval from J.D. 24 36637-24 39029:          (EW)
     Min.(hel.) = J.D. 24 37016.435 + 0.4900267d.E
b. for the interval from J.D. 24 39052-24 43016:
     Min.(hel.) = J.D. 24 43015.413 + 0.4900322d.E
              (10.50m-10.98m/10.98m ph.)


CSV 101915

CSV 101915 = 711.1933 was discovered by Morgenroth, O. (1933,
Astron. Nachr. Bd. 251, 17) who also gave times of minima. A
revision of 327 Sky-patrol-plates yields 3 new minima:

Minimum J.D.   Epoch     O-C   Observer
2400000+
27275.0        - 40    + 0.3d  Morgenroth
38235.5           0   +- 0.0   Berthold
  372.2       + 0.5    - 0.3
39057.3         + 3    - 0.3


Used preliminary elements:

     Min. - J.D. 24 38235.5 + 274.02d.E (EA)
            (11.64m-12.75m/12.75m ph, D~~5d)

Period probably must be halved.


Further particulars will be published in "Mitteilungen der
Bruno-H.-Burgel-Sternwarte Hartha" Heft 18.
