Variability of V838 Mon Before Its Outburst

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

Archival observations of the progenitor of V838 Mon were re-calibrated as well as multiple images from the 2MASS and the DENIS near infrared surveys. Both - the better calibrated values as well as the variability found in the photographic material has strong effects for the fitting of the spectral energy distribution of the progenitor.
