Short Time

The inception of the present era of interest in rapidly varying stars may be identified with M. F. WALKER’s discovery in 1954 (WALKER 1954) of changes in the brightness of the blue object MacRae+43° 1 (now known as MVLyr), on a time scale of a few minutes. Outside of flare stars, few other stellar objects were suspected to vary on such a short time scale. GREENSTEIN’s (1954) spectra showed that MV Lyr resembles an old nova, which stimulated WALKER to look for light fluctuations in old, recurrent, and dwarf novae and related stars. His observational evidence that all members of these classes show variations of various amplitudes and time scales is summarized in the IAU Colloquium on non-stable stars (WALKER 1957). Most spectacular of his discoveries was the existence of 71 sec periodic variations in the light from the remnant of Nova Herculis 1934 (DQ Her) (WALKER 1956).

PG1159-035 was originally detected as a 14.5 mag. blue object in a survey for QSO candidates (Green 1977), An SIT spectrogram obtained at the Hale 5m telescope at 6Å resolution showed this star to have a very blue continuum with absorption features near λ4686 and λ4650 which were tentatively attributed to Hell and the CIII/CIV complex, respectively. Possible narrow emission components to these lines appear in Figure 1 which shows confirming spectra obtained with the IIDS (at 2.5Å resolution) on the Kitt Peak 2.1m telescope. The blue continuum and possible presence of Hell in emission suggested that this star was perhaps similar to the helium mass-transfer binary AM CVn (HZ 29). For this reason, we put PG1159-035 on our program of high-speed photometry, expecting the star to show “flickering” associated with mass transfer into an accretion disk and possible orbital modulation or eclipses in the period range 10-20 minutes—photometric characteristics similar to those observed in AM CVn.
