T Pyx in 1966. The diamonds are for
B-band magnitudes, while the circles are for
V-band magnitudes. The small circles are for visual observations, while the large symbols are for photoelectric observations.
The broken lines indicate the templates for the
B band and the
V band (see Table 16), with the
V-band template lying on top around the time of peak. The T Pyx light curve has observed fast oscillations with an amplitude
of >0.8 mag on time scales of a day or less, and this causes the large apparent scatter about the templates in the light curves.
