ABSTRACT
We present data of a new suspected variable star in the constellation Crux. This is a result of a photographic scanning program at the Observatorio Cristo Rey, which began in 1995. Unfiltered CCD photometric data show that IRAS12521-6034 is a variable star.

Star name: IRAS 12521-6034


Equatorial coordinates (field):
The star for which a change of brightness has been detected is:
AR (2000.0): 12h 55m 09.5s
Dec (2000.0): -60º 50' 59"
Cross references: IRAS 12521-6034.

Comparison star(s):

SAO 252084 = HD 112027 = HIP 62982 = TYC 8989 3049 1. m=9.22V. B-V=0.59

Check star(s):

SAO 252085 = HD 112026 = PPM 359736

HD 312129 = PPM 779212 = GSC 8989 1603

HD 312130 = GSC 8989 0710

If data are sent together with the template file, the editors will make it publicly available through the

Type of variability (according to the GCVS nomenclature if known): I (irregular)

Identification chart: YES


Remarks:

A scanning program for searching variable star is running at Observatorio Cristo Rey. This program consist in taking CCD images of the same field throughout the time and compare them to detect luminosity changes in the stars in the field.

When a change of luminosity is detected, we cross references to the following catalogues: General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS), New Suspected Variable Stars Catalogue and its supplement (NSV and NSVS), Hipparcos Catalogue, Guide Star Catalogue, Tycho-1 and Tycho-2 catalogues, USNO Catalogue, IRAS and others.

As a result of this program we have found a variable star in Crux (Southern Cross)at AR (2000.0): 12h 55m 09.5s  Dec (2000.0): -60º 50' 59"
