C. R. d'Esterre and the mysteries of UV and UW Per
Abstract
A dwarf nova in Perseus shows no evidence for the nebulous surround observed in 1912. A nearby suspected U Gem star has never been seen in outburst in modern times; the recent discovery of the original outburst plate confirms it has been mis-identified. The evidence for these objects and the story of their enigmatic discoverer are discussed in detail.
