2004IAUC.8441....3R - IAU Circ., 8441, 3 (2004/November-0)

Variable star in Cepheus.

REIPURTH B. and ASPIN C.

Abstract (from CDS):

B. Reipurth, University of Hawaii (UH); and C. Aspin, Gemini Observatory, report that an R-band CCD image obtained at the UH 2.2-m telescope on 2004 Oct. 9 shows that this star (at R about 17.3) is located at the apex of what appears to be an outflow cavity in a small dark cloud and is apparently identical with the bright infrared source 2MASS 22533325+6232235 (J = 10.85). A GMOS spectrum (resolution 6200), obtained on Nov. 6 at the Gemini-N telescope, shows deep and wide H_alpha and Na absorption lines on a red continuum. Thus, the variable appears to be a new highly reddened FU-Ori-type object that has erupted sometime during the past 50 years.
