Description:
621 new variable stars have been detected on plates obtained with the
Schmidt telescopes of the Mount Palomar Observatory (1968) and of the
European Southern Observatory (1976-1980).
The astrometric measurements (ESO-CERN) and the photometrical ones
(CDCA) which have followed the detection the variable stars
(Observatoire de Lyon) have led to determine the parameters α,
δ, l, b, R(Max), R(Min), δm.
So we notice that:
- 379 variable stars have an amplitude of variation in magnitude
between 0.5 and 2.0 (delm/N histogram).
-The number of variable stars strongly decreases towards the great
amplitudes.
-The surface density of variable stars by square degree in this
central galactic direction increases from 2 to 21 in the explored
field of 5.5degx5.5deg size.
