Times of maximum of KZ Hya from OACS -UNAH
A pulsating variable star is one whose brightness changes periodically due to the expansion and contraction of the surface layers of the star. Several times of maximum light can be obtained in brief observations of SX Phoenicis variable stars due to their short periods of pulsation (P ~ 1:0 - 1:75 h). We report three new times of maximum light of SX Phoenicis star KZ Hya obtained from photometric observations made on the night of April 5-6, 2019 from the Observatorio Astronómico Centroaméricano de Suyapa (OACS) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras
