[46.05] Classification of the Variable Star GW Draconis

A. McLean, S. Beckstrand, E. Hintz (Brigham Young University)

GW Draconis is described in the HIPPARCOS catalog as a low amplitude (0.07 mag) variable star with a spectral type of F2 and a period of approximately three hours. The original data was insufficient to determine the type of variation, but the star shows a number of \delta Scuti like characteristics. Using V light curves, (B-V) data, and spectroscopic data the classification of GW Dra will be examined.
