Mid-ultraviolet and optical photometry of helium stars Mid-ultraviolet and optical photometric analysis of helium stars arepresented. A linear relation exists between the effective temperaturederived from model atmospheres and (1965-V)0 index. The effectivetemperatures derived from (1965-V)0 index are somewhat higher than thatof MK spectral type estimates especially for late B-type helium objects.
Search for light variability among eight stars with anomalous helium content A search for periodic light variability was carried out among eightstars with anomalous helium content. No variability was detected duringthe observation period for HD 178993, HD 207538, and HD 209339. Theperiod obtained for HD 184927 by Bond and Levato (1977) was confirmed.For HD 191980, HD 208266, and HD 217833, photometric variability wasdetected and periods were obtained.
