Photometry of variable stars

 

Photometry of variable stars,especially cataclysmic ones, is one of the main research fields at Bellatrix Observatory, so the Virtual Telescope is particularly active in the area. Over the last 15 years, thousands of photometric measures were obtained and used for professional, scientific papers. Also, we did a large number of discoveries.

Here we report some of our discoveries and best results.

- MASTER OT J182201.93+324906.7: discovery of its SU UMa nature (May 2012)
