This really looks like a short period RRAB! There are a few out there (most have longer periods).<br />So I see we'll be receiving your submission soon :)<br /><br />One thing about the extrinsic and intrinsic variables. Cataclysmic variables are not extrinsic. Eclipsing binaries are.<br />The fact that the outbursts in CVs come from physical processes involving the stars themselves make them intrinsic.<br />Think about extrinsic variables as a result of geometry and intrinsic variables as a result of physics.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Sebastian.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17722424286928019263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395467250648377408.post-52976096751335159532009-10-21T07:34:52.693+11:002009-10-21T07:34:52.693+11:00As the creator of The AAVSO International Variable...As the creator of The AAVSO International Variable Star Index, I want to thank you for your contribution, as well as your thoroughly refreshing humility in all of this. Believe it or not, that is a rarity. I look forward with great anticipation to your next submission of 2MASS J19030305-2213003 to VSX. Looks like a winner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395467250648377408.post-38615338796556067622009-10-21T07:04:08.130+11:002009-10-21T07:04:08.130+11:00Good luck with the research.
