A search for Beta Canis Majoris stars
Abstract
The results of a search for southern Beta CMa stars are presented. Photoelectric photometry of thirty-one candidates shows that eight of these are previously unrecognized probable or certain Beta CMa variables. Four of these stars are members of the galactic cluster NGC 3293. One Delta Sct variable and one eclipsing binary were discovered. A few other stars are probably ellipsoidal variables.
