    UBVRI photometry of Betelgeuse over 23 years since 1999

    Full text link
    We report the results of our continuous UBVRI-band photometry of Betelgeuse from 1999 to 2022 using the same photometric system. There are two advantages in our observation: (1) we used a photodiode as a detector to avoid saturation, and (2) our data set includes U-band light curve, which is not widely observed in recent CCD photometries. Using our light curves, we conducted the periodicity analysis, and found ~405- and ~2160-day periods. We also discuss the tentative detection of a long-period variation over 20 years or longer. Finally, we discuss the peculiar variation of the U-B color index during the "Great Dimming" event between late 2019 and early 2020.Comment: 29 pages, 7 figures, 2 tables. Published in OEJV.

    High-field magnetization and magnetic phase transition in CeOs2Al10

    Get PDF
    We have studied the magnetization of CeOs2Al10 in high magnetic fields up to 55 T for H // a and constructed the magnetic phase diagram for H // a. The magnetization curve shows a concave H dependence below T_max \sim40 K which is higher than the transition temperature T_0 \sim29 K. The magnetic susceptibility along the a-axis shows a smooth and continuous decrease down to \sim20 K below T_max \sim40 K without showing an anomaly at T_0. From these two results, a Kondo singlet is formed below T_max and coexists with the antiferro magnetic order below T_0. We also propose that the larger suppression of the spin degrees of freedom along the a-axis than along the c-axis below T_max is associated with the origin of the antiferro magnetic component.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys.
