Each variable star in the catalogue is identified as AGPVm, m running from 1 to 1579. Then are given: Fn(x,y) (F being the letter of identification of AGAPE field and n the variable star number in this field; x and y being the pixel coordinates in the reference frame), right ascension and declination for 2000.0, Rmax magnitude at observed maximum, and L the likelihood function. When the variable star is a nova discovered by eye, no L value is given.
