Description:
We present a computer-readable version of six Name-Lists of Variable
Stars (Nos.67-72) published in the system introduced during the
preparation of the 4th GCVS edition. For printed versions of these
Name-Lists see IBVS No.2681,1985; No.3058,1987; No.3323,1989;
No.3530,1990; No.3840,1993; No.4140,1995. The main body of the 4th
GCVS edition is already available in computer-readable form (see
II/139, II/172, II/205).
There are 2735 stars in the Name-Lists Nos.67-72 (file "nl.dat"). The
variables are arranged in the order of their names inside
constellations. One star of the 67th Name-List (V1810 Cyg=No.67247)
turned out to be non-existing, it has been excluded from the table.
The identification table (file "ident.dat") and the list of references
(file "ref.dat") follow. The total number of designated variable stars
has now reached 31193. In the new computer-readable version 1.1 of the
GCVS, vol. IV (catalog II/172), we now present identifications
also for name-list stars.
We make no special attempt to present the material in a completely
homogeneous form. There happened minor style evolution from the 67th
to the 70th Name-List: particularly, the 67th Name-List normally
refers in the identification table only to the catalogues cited in the
papers mentioned in the references in the files "nl.dat" and
"ident.dat", and to the 70th Name-List it became a common practice to
give more catalogue identifications. From the Name-List No.70, there
is no completeness in identifications with the old catalogues of
suspected variables (CSV), in many cases we consider the NSV
identification sufficient. We also do not try to update the
information of the older Name-Lists, we only put the information
together and correct known mistakes.
The corrections to the Name-Lists have been taken into account. It is
necessary to reproduce here two remarks from forewords of the printed
Name-Lists:
Name-List No.69. In the case of the variable stars in the open cluster
NGC 3766 (V843-V849 Cen), there is some ambiguity in their
identification with the HD,CoD,CPD catalogues. In particular, we do
not agree with the HD catalogue identification of HD 100856 with
CPD-60 3102 and consider V843 Cen=CPD-60 3102 to be identical with HDE
306794; HD 100856=CPD-60 3112.
Name-List No.70. The 70th Name-List contains a number of variables in
Taurus discovered by J. Kelemen [70113]. Unfortunately the discovery
announcement contains some mistakes in co-ordinates and in
identifications with other lists. These mistakes have been corrected
according to [70114].
(Added in version II/195B)
The name-list number 73 was added at CDS on 26-Sep-1997. It was kept
in a different file because it is differently formatted (better
accuracy in the position). The references of this 73rd name list were
however merged with the previous ones in the file ref.dat.

Note on GCVS: the following non-common transliterations of greek letters
are used: dzeta, miu, niu, ksi, khi. Lower- and upper-case
latin letters must be distinguished (e.g. u Her and U Her)
Note on RAh, RAm, RAs, DE-, DEd, DEm, DEs:
the position is not listed when the variable is equivalent to
another catalogued variable ('=' in column VarType, byte 53)
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). For stars with
photoelectric photometry, two decimals after the decimal point are
presented (or sometimes, in the case of amplitudes, three decimals);
one decimal is given in the case of photographic or visual magnitudes,
no decimals follow the decimal point in the cases of very rough
magnitude estimates.
Note on n_magMax, n_magMin: Code for alternate photometric system.
Field is non-blank if magMin is a magnitude or amplitude given in a
system other than that indicated by magCode. The designations u,v,b,y
refer to the Stroemgren system. An asterisk in the corresponding
position for V2027 Cyg means the amplitude measured in white light.
Note on magCode: the photometric system in which magMin and magMax are
reported (see also Note on n_magMax, n_magMin). The main codes are P
(photographic magnitudes) and V (visual, photovisual, or Johnson's V).
Several stars from the 68th Name-List have in these positions "1.04"
designating the 1.04 micrometer band of the system introduced by
G.W.Lockwood. The designations u,v,b,y refer to the Stroemgren system.
The symbol "Ic" means magnitudes in Cousins' I system.
Note on VarType: type of variability.
The system of variable star classification corresponds to the 4th GCVS
edition (see II/139), with three additions introduced in the
Name-Lists:
*Name-List No.68. "R - close binary systems characterized by the
presence of strong reflection (re-radiation) of the light of the hot
star illuminating the surface of the cooler companion. Light curves
are sinusoidal with the period equal to Porb, maximum brightness
coinciding with the passage of the hot star in front of the companion.
The eclipse may be absent. The range of light variation is about
0.5-1.0mag V (KV Vel)";
*Name-List No.69. "It becomes more and more clear that, although the
majority of Be stars are photometrically variable, not all of them
could be properly called GCAS variables. Quite a number of them show
small-scale variations not necessarily related to shell events; in
some cases the variations are quasi-periodic. By now we are not able
to present an elaborated system of classification for Be variables,
but we adopt a decision that in the cases when a Be variable cannot be
readily described as a GCAS star we give simply BE for the type of
variability".
*Name-List No. 72. "For comparatively long-period pulsating B stars
(periods exceeding one day), we introduce a provisional type LBV".
Note on Ref2: If no chart is available for the variable, but the star
is contained in one of the Durchmusterung catalogs or the Hubble Space
Telescope Guide Star Catalog, the corresponding abbreviation (BD, CPD,
CoD, GSC) is given.
Note on NL: the Name-List number.
Printed versions of every Name-List have their own numbering systems
for variables and references. In order not to change numbers and to
make it possible to distinguish among Name-Lists, we use combined star
numbers of the form aabbb, where aa is the number of the Name-List,
and bbb is the star number in the Name-List No.aa; for example,
UX Tri=No.69015= star No.015 in the Name-List No.69. The same
numbering is used for references, but in the numbers of references in
the file nl.dat we omit the "aa" positions.

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). For stars with
photoelectric photometry, two decimals after the decimal point are
presented (or sometimes, in the case of amplitudes, three decimals);
one decimal is given in the case of photographic or visual magnitudes,
no decimals follow the decimal point in the cases of very rough

Note on n_magMin: Code for alternate photometric system.
Field is non-blank if magMin is a magnitude or amplitude given in a
system other than that indicated by magCode. The designations u,v,b,y
refer to the Stroemgren system.
Note on magCode: the photometric system in which magMin and magMax are
reported (see also Note on n_magMin). The main codes are P
(photographic magnitudes) and V (visual, photovisual, or Johnson's V).
The designations u,v,b,y refer to the Stroemgren system.

Note on GCVS, NL:
This file consists of lines not longer than 80 symbols. Information
for a star may occupy one line or more. If a line contains the
continuation for a star, its first 15 bytes are repeated.
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.dat") 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. For
the stars having NSV catalogue numbers, the references to discovery
papers already taken into account in the NSV catalogue are not always
given. Different identifications of the same star are separated with
equality signs. In some cases, short remarks are given after the full
stop following the last identification.

Note on Text:
In the present version we attempted to give Latin transliterations of
Russian-language names of astronomical periodicals and books. We did
not try to unificate the Latin spelling of names with Cyrillic (or
other) original forms, but simply tried to reproduce the Latin
transcriptions in the publications referred to. Of course this may
lead to some confusion, hopefully minor. If a paper enters lists of
references of several Name-Lists, it appears several times in the
present version.
