Irregular Variable Stars of the RW Aurigae Type
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
The RW Aurigae type was first introduced by P. P. Parenago [1] in 1932 for the designation of irregular variable stars that belong to spectral class G and show extremely rapid (up to 1 magnitude in several hours) and large (up to 3 or 4 magnitudes) variations of their brightness. Many stars of that type were found to be connected with dark diffuse nebulae. Some of them, as for instance R Monocerotis, RY Tauri, and R Coronae Australis, were also associated with bright and dark comet- or fan-shaped nebulae, often themselves variable.
