Catalogue of eclipsing variables. Malkov O.Yu., Oblak E., Snegireva E. A., Torra J. <Astron. Astrophys. 446, 785 (2006)> =2006A&A...446..785M 2006A&A...446..785M
ADC_Keywords: Binaries, eclipsing ; Photometry Keywords: binaries: eclipsing - catalogues Abstract: A new catalogue of 6330 eclipsing variable stars is presented. The catalogue was developed from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) and its textual remarks by including recently published information about classification of 843 systems and making corresponding corrections of GCVS data. The catalogue represents the largest list of eclipsing binaries classified from observations.

Otherwise, uncertainty flag is related to the last symbol of Class2. Note (3): Field is blank if type of the light curve is "E". Note (4): The photometric system in which magMax, A1, A2 is as follows: P = (photographic magnitudes) V = (visual, photovisual, or Johnson's V) B = (Johnson's B) Hp = (Hipparcos magnitude) U = Johnson U band R = Johnson R band I = Johnson I band J = Johnson J band b = Stroemgren b band v = Stroemgren v band y = Stroemgren y band Rc = Cousins R band Ic = Cousins I band g = Thuan and Gunn g band * = parameters measured in white light Note (5): Variability of Period flag as follows: u = means period varies, d = means period decreases, i = means period increases, v = means sign of period variation changes. Note (6): The parameters given is (phase x 1000). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgements: Oleg Malkov, malkov(at)inasan.ru
