Hereford Arizona Observatory found fluctuations in what type of main-sequence star in Cygnus?
Hereford Arizona Observatory Hereford Arizona Observatory (HAO), IAU-code G95, is an astronomical observatory, owned and operated by amateur astronomer Bruce L. Gary. Gary is the author of many publications related to astronomy, including "Exoplanet Observing for Amateurs" (2008), currently available in a second edition (2009). Observational studies of unusual starlight fluctuations in KIC 8462852 and WD 1145+017 are recent interests.
Kepler-16 Kepler-16 is a binary star system in the constellation of Cygnus that was targeted by the Kepler spacecraft. Both stars are smaller than the Sun; the primary, Kepler-16A, is a K-type main-sequence star and the secondary, Kepler-16B, is an M-type red dwarf. They are separated by 0.22 AU, and complete an orbit around a common center of mass every 41 days.
