Automated and Conventional Photometry of the Short-Period Variable Star 14 Aurigae

Amplitude of the V-light curve of the Scuti star 14 Aurigae varied from 0.02 to 0.08 mag on six nights. The changes in amplitude accompanied comparable changes in maximum brightness, whereas changes in minimum brightness were much smaller. The light period is 0d08745, and the spectroscopicbinary period is 3d,788506. Small variations in color indices, associated with the light variation, resemble those of other Scuti stars. The use of an automated telescope was effective in obtaining large numbers of routine observations.
