Resolved photometry of the binary components of RW Aur

Published 24 Dec 2014 in astro-ph.SR | (1412.7661v1)

Abstract: Resolved UBVRI photometry of RW Aur binary was performed on November 13/14, 2014 during the deep dimming of RW Aur with a newly installed 2.5 meter telescope of the Caucasus observatory of Lomonosov Moscow State University at the mount Shatzhatmaz. At that moment RW Aur A was $\simeq 3m$ fainter than in November 1994 in all spectral bands. We explain the current RW Aur A dimming as a result of eclipse of the star by dust particles with size $>1 \mu m.$ We found that RW Aur B is also a variable star: it was brighter than 20 years ago at $0.7m$ in each of UBVRI band (gray brightening).
