  • Dolorous_Edd by Dolorous_Edd

    EPIC 220115962 - is listed under GO4069 Szabo Exploiting RR Lyrae stars in the C4 and C5 fields of the K2 Mission

    Looking at DSS and UKIDSS, there are two stars close to each other less than 5"

    SIMBAD gives two entries [DCD2013] CSS J041215.2+225857 and [DCD2013] MLS J041215.3+225858

    Chance aligment? or wrong entries in Simbad?

    Would have been interesting if it were a visual binary
