Light variations of massive stars (Alpha Cygni variables). IX
High-precision VBLUW photometry of 22 highly luminous OBA-type stars, 13of which are Alpha Cygni variables and two of which are variable only incolor, is presented. It is suggested that sigma (V-B) increases fasterthan sigma (B-L) with later spectral types due to the absence ofstochastic metal line strength variations in the V band. It is assumedthat short-time-scale stellar spot activity is present, or thattemperature and density waves move through the atmospheres with the sametime scales, producing these line strength variations independent of thecontinuum variations. The possibility of differentiating stars which lieclose to each other in the HR diagram but have different evolutionaryhistories (and thus different metal abundances) with the aid of themaximum light amplitude/sigma (V-B) diagram is considered.
| An investigation of the micro variations of highly luminous OBA type stars. IV
VBLUW photometry of eight OBA type stars of high luminosity, M(001) lessthan -7, is presented. The mean errors of the nightly averages amount toless than or equal to + or - 0.002 mag. All but presumably one appear tobe variable, of which the maximum light amplitude amounts up toapproximately 0.1 mag. The variability of brightness and colors, andtheir time scales (days to weeks) increase with decreasing temperature.
