1 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Between 2011 and 2015 the amplitude remained close to 2 mag. and the star reached a new minimum magnitude record around JD 2456812 (June 3, 2014) with V= 8.0
2 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Increasing amplitude after 2011 but mean magnitude still faint. New minimum record in the obscuration event around March 15, 2012 (V= 7.54).
3 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Obscuration event. New minimum record around Dec. 15, 2009.
4 Otero, Sebastian Alberto The star is undergoing a major dust obscuration event since 1994. Period between 2001 and 2007 is 136 d.
