Abstract

Sigurd Enebo made two important contributions to variable star research in 1912: the serendipitous discovery of Nova Geminorum II and the introduction of RV Tauri stars as a new class of variables. Based on recently-discovered source material and literature sources, we describe Enebo's variable star program from 1903 to 1942 and highlight some results. Enebo was a meticulous observer who contributed extended time series for several types of variable stars. He determined periods for a large number of them, and was the discoverer of 2 eruptive, 7 long period, and 2 Algol variables.
