Next This article is in six sections. The specific theoretical background for this study is in A Ritzian Interpretation of Variable Stars . Here the profiles have been smoothed to remove the bulk of scintillation effects. A first examination shows what appears to be nine cyclic peaks occurring in a 35 second period.
Closer examination suggests the superpositon of of two separate wavetrains.
If we construct a 90 percent likelihood error box box it should be about 2.5 times larger on each side than for the 50 percent error box. The eventual idea is to see if Omega Gem is inside a 99.5 percent error box for GRB 790731, and as such could be considered as a candidate optical counterpart. A literature search regarding the variability of Omega Gem is in progress. If Omega Gem was variable after 31 July 1979 or if it was found to be no longer variable before that date, then the premise of this investigation will be falsified. Another line of investigation to be pursued has to do with the proper and radial motions of Omega Gem before and after 31 July 1979.
