Recent variability of the central star of the planetary nebula NGC 2346. (1993). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 27(1), 103-106. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1993rmxaa..27..103c

Abstract

The authors report photoelectric and CCD photometry of V651 Mon, the central star of the planetary nebula NGC 2346, made in April - May and November, 1992. During each of these two epochs an occultation was measured, of amplitude 0.20 and 0.35 in the observed V magnitude, in accordance with previous results. These variations may be interpreted in terms of other fragmented dust cloud(s) passing in front of the binary central star, but probably an additional source must be invoked.
