R Centauri at millennium's end.

WALKER W.S.G. and GREAVES J.

Abstract (from CDS):

We have analyzed ∼20,000 visual measures of the double-maximum Mira star R Centauri made by the AAVSO and the RASNZ VSS during the past 72 years. Recently there has been a marked change in the amplitude of variability and the shape of the light curve. The period is also shortening at an increasingly fast rate. V and B-V measures indicate that the first maximum is comparable to the maximum in normal, single-peaked Mira stars.
