C. Sterken et al., PHOTOELECTRIC PHOTOMETRY OF THE BETA CEPHEI STAR BW VULPECULAE (1988-1991), Astronomy & Astrophysics. Supplement series, 98(2), 1993, pp. 383-389
BW Vul, the beta Cephei star with the largest-known amplitude, has bee
n observed through several cycles of pulsation. The data, obtained at
three observatories, were homogenized, and are presented in tabular fo
rm. Times of minimum and maximum light were derived, and a contemporar
y value for the period is deduced. Our data do not reveal any sudden p
eriod change in the time span 1988-1991.
