=========================================================================== NEW CATALOGUE OF SUSPECTED VARIABLE STARS. SUPPLEMENT (Kazarovets+ 1998) Version 1.0 =========================================================================== New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars. Supplement, Kazarovets E.V., Durlevich O.V. Editor-in-Chief Samus N.N. , . =========================================================================== ftp ftp.sai.msu.su, /pub/groups/cluster/gcvs/gcvs/nsvsup/ (anonymous) http://www.sai.msu.su/groups/cluster/gcvs/gcvs/nsvsup/ INTRODUCTION This catalog is a compilation of 11206 stars suspected of variability and not finally designated as variables prior to 1997. It is the supplementary part to the "New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars" published in 1982 (Kukarkin et al.). Data contained in the present catalog include positions, magnitudes, variability types, references to the literature, spectra and cross-identifications. The computer version of the NSV Supplement contains principally the same data as the printed catalog, the data tables with the textual material (bibliography, remarks) are included.

These signify that more complete information will be found in the remarks to the published catalog. The remarks are machine readable, they do contain much supplemental information. There, one will find information covering situations like, e.g.: 1. The discoverer of the light variability is not the author of the paper cited in the variability reference, or is one of several authors of the paper cited. In these cases, discoverers' names are given in original transcriptions of the remarks. 2. The most important additional information about a star, although the NSV Supplement compilers did not intend to present complete bibliographies for any cataloged stars. 3. Remarks for visual binaries giving visual magnitudes for the individual components A and B, angular separations, and position angles for faint components (or semimajor axis of a relative orbit and period of orbital motion). Then, data for other components are given where applicable. (Combined magnitudes are generally reported in the machine-readable table.) Note on u_DEs: The actual accuracy of coordinates is indicated with the symbols: (:) means right ascensions accurate to one second of time and declinations accurate to one tenth of an arcminute; (*) means declinations accurate to one arcminute. Note on magMax, magMin: The star's magnitude in minimum and maximum brightness. Instead of the magnitude in minimum, the star's amplitude of variation may be indicated (in brackets). Magnitudes are reported to hundredths if the observations are photoelectric or CCD, to tenths or whole magnitudes if they are not. If only an amplitude has been measured photoelectrically, then the maximum magnitude is generally given to tenths only and the minimum is reported to hundredths. Note on n_magMin and magCode: The photometric system in which magMin and magMax are reported. The main codes are V (visual, photovisual, or Johnson's V), B (Johnson's B) and P (photographic magnitudes). The designations u, v, b, y refer to the Stroemgren system. The symbols Ic, Rc mean magnitudes in Cousins' I, R system; Hp, T - in Hipparcos and Tycho mission systems; J, H, K, L, M - infrared magnitudes. * - corresponds to unfiltered CCD Note on VarType: Type of variability. The system of variable star classification corresponds to the GCVS4, with six additions (ZZO, AM, R, BE, LBV, BLBOO) introduced in the Name-Lists 67-72 and in the GCVS vol.V. Brief descriptions only are given here: ACV, ACVO Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum ACYG Alpha Cygni BCEP, BCEPS Beta Cephei BE Be BL BL Lacertae BY BY Draconis CEP Cepheid CST constant CW W Virginis DCEP Delta Cephei DSCT, DSCTC Delta Scuti E eclipsing EA Algol (Beta Persei) EB Beta Lyrae EW W Ursae Majoris ELL ellipsoidal FKCOM FK Comae Berenices FU FU Orionis GAL galaxy GCAS Gamma Cassiopejae I irregular IA, INA white irregular IB, INB red irregular IN irregular in a nebula IT, INT irregular of the T Tauri type IS, ISA rapid irregular L slow LB slow red LBV long-period pulsating B star M Mira (Omicron Ceti) type N Nova NL nova-like NR recurrent Nova QSO quasistellar object RR RR Lyrae RS RS Canum Venaticorum RV RV Tauri S rapid SN supernova SR, SRA, SRB, SRD semiregular SXARI SX Arietis SXPHE SX Phoenicis UG U Geminorum UGSS SS Cygni UV UV Ceti VAR variable WR Wolf-Rayet star XM X-ray system with a strong magnetic field XNA X-ray nova-like ZAND Z Camelopardalis ZZA, ZZO ZZ Ceti Note on Ref1: The four digits give the number in the list of references contained in the catalog, which is generally the first publication announcing the possible variability. Note on Ref2: The coding for the numbers is similar to that used in the variability references described above, except that there are also letter codes. These are references to papers containing identification chart or photograph of the field with the suspected variable marked. If the cited paper does not contain a chart, but the star is cataloged in one of the Durchmusterungen (BD,CD,CPD) or in the Hubble Space Telescop Guide Star Catalog (GSC), then corresponding letter codes DM or GSC are given. Note on SpType1: Spectral types, subtypes and luminosity classes are given. More detailed classification information is given in the remarks to the catalog. Also the following symbols are used: AF A-F cont continuum e emission spectrum ea e sub alpha FG F-G KM K-M * see Sp type in remarks Note on VarName: The alternative name of the variable. All necessary information on the star is to be found under that alternative name, in the iii.zip and nl.zip files. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: ident.txt --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 5 I5 --- NSV NSV number 7 A1 --- --- [=] Equality sign 9-249 A241 --- ID *Identifications --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note on ID: all identifications needed to find the star in the papers with the first (or independent) announcement of the discovery of its variability. References to these papers (see file ref.txt) are given in square brackets after the corresponding identification. The name of the discoverer accompanies the reference only in the case of its being different from the name of the author(s) of the paper referred to. Designations of components of double or multiple system: A, B, C, ..., A1, A2, ..., p - preceding, f - following, s - southern, n - northern. The transliterations of greek letters are used: alpha, beta, gamma,..., omega, etc., kappa 2, omicr 1. Different identifications of the same star with catalogs and lists are separated with equality sings (=). Symbol (?) marks the doubtful identification.
