The Hipparcos Epoch Photometry contains 182 measurements of HD 220391 (HIP 115506). As
in the first case, all quality flags have bit 4 or higher on. The effective width
of the aperture (called Instantaneous-Field-of-View) is 38 arcsec, so
companions at angular separations between 10 and 30 arcsec may interfere
significantly during the measurement. We selected 172 data with a value of the
quality flag not worse than 18, with a transit error on the (dc) magnitude
not larger than 0.020 mag (6 data have not) and with good agreement between the
(ac) and the (dc) magnitudes (3 data have not). The mean of these is 7.227 mag
with a standard deviation equal to 0.026 mag. Fourier analysis between 0. and 23. cpd
displays a peak at
11 cpd, which is an artefact frequency of order 2hr-1
(with an associated amplitude of 0.013 mag), introduced by the rotation period of the
satellite and very conspicuous in the spectral window Fouriergrams.
