New R CrB-Type Star HadV98

Abstract

HadV98 = CoD-22 12017 = GSC 6825.253 is a variable star discovered by Katsumi Haseda. This object has been recently confirmed to be a new R CrB star (Hasselbach et al. 2002), as had been originally proposed by us at the time of the discovery alert in VSNET. We studied the light curve based on Haseda's photographic material and ASAS-3 V-band data. There was only major fading episode in the past decade. The fading started in 2001 May was composed of at least two minima, and followed by a slow recovery.
