Light curve and Explanation

i) Karasaki's observation



ii) Ishida's observation

iii) Kashiwagura's observation


The star is so faint that the star's is difficult to find on the video frame.
Lomovie gleaned small signal from noisy background. And the rather clear light curve has been obtained with Gaussian filtre for light curve. The error margin of first event is rather large (0.17seconds) because the light curve is scattered by the large background noise.

From IOTA coordinator

[Jan. 11, 2010]
Thank you for the report on the observation of S79337 by Kashiwagura-san.
You have also sent me reports on this event observed by Ishida-san and Karasaki-san.
This has enabled me to make a solution for the double:
PA 300.46±2.34°, separation 0.639±0.078".
I will attach the solution as generated by Occult.

Kind Regards
Brian

The timings for S79337 look to be agree with those by Karasaki-san. Since the Position Angles of the two events are so close, I have not attempted to determine the PA and separation. But they will be very useful if we can get another observation of the pair.
Regards,
Brian

Thanks you for the two observations of the double stars S79337 and X101356.
For S 79337 I estimate the expected step time as 2.48 seconds, very close to the observed time 2.47 seconds.
For X 101356 I estimate the expected step time as 1.22 seconds a little shorter than the observed 1.33 seconds.
I have received no other observations of the stars.
Peter Anderson in Australia noted S 79337 as a double at an occultation observation in 2000. X 101356 has no archived occultation observation.

Kind regards,
Brian
