       THE BEHAVIOUR OF KR AURIGAE IN THE SEASON 1983/84


  In linking to the sequence of comparison stars given by M. Popova (1965)
the star was measured on 29 blue-sensitive plates (ORWO-ZU21 + GG13 + BG12)
from 27 nights obtained with the 50/70/172 cm Schmidt camera of Sonneberg
Observatory. The observations which are given in Table I are covering the
time interval between 1983 September 5 and 1984 April 24, The light curve

in B shows the star in its bright light superimposed by temporal light 
fluctuations. The lowest brightness (mB = 14.14m) connected with a decrease of
Delta mB = 0.61m within 5.010d was stated at the end of the series.
