They are based on our program of systematic intensive optical monitoring in search of fast variability events. In the first paper the results of a CCD photometric campaign conducted at ESO (La Silla, Chile) on 6-14 July 1998, for a total time on the source of ~30 hours. Some peculiarities in the light and colour cutves were evidenced. In the second paper we report on linear polarization, as observed in the UBVRI bands in June and August 1998 for a total of ~45 hours. Between the two epochs, the linear polarization in the V band increased from ~3.5% to ~5.5%, and the position angle decreased from 100 deg to 70 deg. Significant day-to-day variations of both quantities are also observed. An isolated "dip" of the polarization percentage occurred between 17 and 19 June in all bands: a decrease and subsequent rise of a factor of 2 is seen in the linear polarization, accompanied by a variation of the position angle by 90 deg. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9907249 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
