FIN 313 A: 30 CMa = tau CMa. A is Beta Lyrae-type system, probably variable.
See discussion of the system by Sana et al. 2014). Sna2014
HJ 3948 van Leewen & van Genderen (1997 A&A 327, 1070) and Stickland et al. Stc1999
(1999) argue that the brighter Aa component of the visual Aa,Ab binary
is a triple system consisting of a close 1.28-day eclipsing system
orbiting a distant O star (the spectroscopic binary with a period of
154.9 d). The visual Aa,Ab pair has slowly decreased in separation
from 0".19 to 0".15 between 1977 and 1994. Msn1998a
Classification of the D component is from Hoffleit & Warren (1991). Hof1991
1996.155: Date from J. Christou (private communication).
