Observing Campaign #893: Photometry requested for HD 98800 (TV Crt)

View here: Details for Photometry requested for HD 98800 (TV Crt)

Abstract: Photometry over at least the following 12 months of the TV Crateris system (approx magnitude 9 visual) as one close pair of young stars is eclipsed by the distorted circumstellar disc of the other pair in the system.

Justification: Photometry of the light variations of the system could enable details of the circumstellar disc’s structure in which planets are probably forming to be refined. Since the system is quite bright it may even be a target for amateur spectroscopists, although spectroscopy is not specifically requested for this campaign.

Hi - Should the three requested observations per night be taken in close time sequence or spread over time? If spread, please suggest a reasonable cadence.

Also, is there value if the photometric data is transformed, eg via BV or other 2 filter combinations?

regards,
Gary
