SBS 0802+529: a New Variable Star from the Second Byurakan Survey
Abstract
A new emission line star was discovered on the plates of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS). The follow up spectroscopy demonstrated that the object had a spectrum dominated by a late-type giant star with superposed hydrogen emission lines. The object resembles a pulsating Mira, but the amplitude of variability and a rapid UV variability are quite unusual for a single star, and we tentatively classify the object as a symbiotic star.
