Where: Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran Lat: 31 16 35.05 S, Long 149 11 33.99 E, Elevation 1180metres Notes: HX Peg is a cv type UGZ found at coordinates RA 23 40 23.73 Dec +12 37 41.7 J2000. This CV is also known as PG 2337+12, WD 2337+12, GJ 2158, PG 2337+123, AAVSO 2335+12, EGGR 336, USNO 783 [18] It is reported to have a variation from 12.90 to 16.62 magnitude in V [19] Miller, Nair, Wilson, and Ferrara report short time variation of PG 2337+12 (HX Peg) on timescales of minutes to days but no periodic modulation has been found. [20] Radial velocity studies of the H? emission line give an orbital period of 4.82 hours for HX Peg. They say it is either a dwarf nova or a VY Scl star [21]. The same paper refers to observations by Honeycutt et al which did daily observations over sets of several weeks spanning 1.6 years. It showed smooth day to day variations in brightness, not random variations as would be expected of an eclipsing variable.
