VARIABLE STAR IN LYRA: PSN J19234877+3450324
Further to CBET 2772, P. Blanchard, M. Kandrashoff, S. B. Cenko, W. Li,
and A. V. Filippenko reported the LOSS discovery on Sept. 2.25 UT of a
possible supernova (mag 16.1) located 13" west and 176" north of the center
of UGC 11433 on unfiltered KAIT images, with the position given as R.A. =
19h23m48s.77, Decl. = +34d50'32".4 (equinox 2000.0). This object was
designated PSN J19234877+3450324 when it was posted on the Central Bureau's
TOCP webpage. Additional unfiltered CCD magnitudes for PSN J19234877+3450324:
Sep. 1.25, [18.7 (KAIT); 3.24, 15.7 (KAIT); 4.139, 16.7 (R. A. Koff, Bennett,
CO, USA; Meade 0.25-m f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector + Apogee AP-47p CCD
camera; image scale 2"/pixel; limiting mag 18.8; position end figures 48s.75,
31".7; UCAC3 reference stars); 6.241, 17.0 (J. Brimacombe, Cairns, Australia;
position end figures 48s.78, 31".7). Koff's image is posted at website URL

he ran a time series of observations from during Sept. 4.125-4.333, yielding
some evidence of periodic behavior; his lightcurve is posted at website URL

J. M. Silverman, S. B. Cenko and A. V. Filippenko, University of
California, Berkeley, report that inspection of a CCD spectrum (range 340-1000
nm), obtained on Sept. 26 UT with the 10-m Keck I telescope (+ LRIS), shows
that PSN J19234877+3450324 is a Galactic variable star with a few narrow
absorption features superposed on a relatively smooth continuum.
