| dc.description.abstract | The results of multicolour photometric monitoring over several nights of the probable X-ray
source UNSW-V-760 are presented. Drawing on both present and past observations, it is
shown that the star is multiperiodic and that all the variability can probably be explained by
two non-sinusoidal periodicities with periods of 0.276 and 0.198 d. Possible causes (binarity,
rotation and oscillation) of the variations are discussed and it is concluded that pulsation must
play a role. A classification in the range K1Vke–K3Vke is derived from two low-dispersion
spectra. Curiously, the pulsation periods are closer to what is expected for a K giant star, but
the amplitudes are two orders of magnitude larger than those seen in K giants. | en_US |
