Description:
Out of six long and six short wavelength observations, one spectrum exhibits a significant photometric variation: or approximately 20%. Interpreting the continuum as due to superposition of an early B main sequence star plus a gaseous component contributing at lambda 2000 A, the wavelength dependence of the variation suggests that it derives from the latter component. The data indicate that if the observed variation is phase dependent, a minimum should occur between phases 0.8 and 0.2. However, since the variation is observed in only one spectrum, it may well be erratic.
