On the nature of KY Cephei.
Abstract
We report the results of the detailed study of the position of KY Cep on photographic plates. The position was checked on 1664 plates taken in the time period of 1928-1992 at the Ondrejov and Sonneberg Observatories with negative results: no brightening exceeding 8-16 mag was revealed. We discuss the possible nature of the flashing object denominated as KY Cephei.
