      THE LIGHT CURVE OF KR AURIGAE, IN THE SEASON 1982/83




 In linking to the sequence of comparison stars given by M. Popova (Popova,
1965) the star was measured on 19 blue-sensitive plates (ORWO-ZU 21 + GG13 +
BG12) obtained with the Schmidt camera 50/70/172 cm of Sonneberg Observatory.

These observations in B which are covering the time interval between 1982
September 15 and 1983 April 13 and which are given in Table I and in Figure
1 show the final phase of an increase in brightness. This increase is 
superimposed by temporal light fluctuations.
