Variable Star Designations for Extreme Helium Stars
Abstract
We discuss the classifications used by the GCVS for pulsating hydrogen-deficient supergiants. We argue that the current PV Tel designation is misleading, and that it should be replaced by three new classes -- V652 Her, V2076 Oph and FQ Aqr. The characteristics and membership of each class are well defined.
