1985

Abstract

Photoelectric photometry of R CrB during 1985 is presented and discussed briefly. The low-am-plitude pulsation is well defined, and the beginnings of a deep minimum were recorded in detail. The (U -B)/(B -V) behavior of the star during this early decline was consistent with similar data for the star during the emergence from an earlier deep minimum and is not much different from the law of interstellar reddening.
