      PHOTOMETRIC BEHAVIOUR OF KR AURIGAE IN THE SEASON 1987/1988


  In supplementing and completing the light curve in B the star was measured
on 21 blue-sensitive plates (ORWO-ZU21+GG13+BG12) from 12 nights obtained
with the 50/70/172 cm Schmidt camera of Sonneberg Observatory, covering the
time interval between 2 October 1987 and 10 April 1988, using the comparison
star sequence given by Popova (1965). The observations are listed in Table I
and shown in Figure 1.

The light curve in Figure 1 shows a minimum, which is of short duration in
comparison with the former ones. The brightness of the star decreased from the
high state at mB= 12.63m to mB= 15.12m to the low state within 31d. In the
subsequent 24d its brightness increased to mB= 13.23m again.
