[54.11] Three Years of Photometry of the Delta Cepheid T Vulpecula

H. T. Nguyen, T. T. Kyaw (California Polytechnic State University)

Three years of UBV photoelectric photometry are presented for the Delta Cepheid, T Vulpecula. The observations were made by the Phoenix-10 automatic photoelectric telescope at the Fairborn Observatory in southern Arizona. T Vul was observed on over 100 different nights during this three-year period. Determination of times of maxima is proceeding using the “master curve” technique suggested by David G. Turner (Saint Mary’s University, Halifax). We are thankful for the assistance of Louis J. Boyd (Fairborn Observatory) for telescope operations, Michael A. Seeds (Franklin and Marshall College) for telescope management and initial automated data reduction, and Russell M. Genet (Orion Observatory) and James R. Mueller (California Polytechnic State University) for technical advice. We acknowledge financial support by the Orion Observatory (observation funds) and the Department of Mathematics, California Polytechnic State University (conference and travel funds).
