| Abstract: |
We present preliminary results of the multi-color variability analysis for a newly confirmed FU Orionis-type object, HBC 722 (also known as LkHα 188 G4, PTF10qpf and V2493 Cyg).
We carried out photometric observations in SDSS r, i and z bands from 2011 April to 2013 May with Camera for Quasars in Early uNiverse (CQUEAN) attached to the 2.1 m Otto Struve telescope at the McDonald Observatory. Minute-scale interval monitoring observations were conducted on chosen photometric nights during the observation campaign to obtain a
sufficient number of samples for a short-term period analysis. HBC 722 has been gradually brightened for 2 years and exceeded the brightness of the first outburst peak. During the actively lasting over 3-year outburst event, short timescale mechanism may exist not acting like overall scale behavior which likely attribute to the distinctive color features in (r- i). |
