ADC_Keywords: Stars, variable Authors' addresses: 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.

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: nl73.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 5 I5 --- NL73 *[73001/73771]+ Name-List number in IBVS 4471 7- 14 A8 --- GCVS Variable star designation 16- 17 I2 h RAh Right Ascension 1950 (hours) 19- 20 I2 min RAm Right Ascension 1950 (minutes) 22- 25 F4.1 s RAs Right Ascension 1950 (seconds) 27 A1 --- DE- Declination 1950 (sign) 28- 29 I2 deg DEd Declination 1950 (degrees) 31- 32 I2 arcmin DEm Declination 1950 (minutes) 34- 35 I2 arcsec DEs ?

Only the last 3 digits are in IBVS 4471. 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.

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: id73.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 5 I5 --- NL73 [73001/73771] Name-List number in IBVS 4471 as in file nl73. 7- 14 A8 --- GCVS Variable star designation, as in file nl73. 16- 80 A65 --- Text Text of equivalences or notes (may require several lines) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: ref.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 2 I2 --- NLnum [67/73] Name-List number 3- 5 I3 --- Ref [1/484] Reference number 7-234 A228 --- Text *Text of reference -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History of the Catalogue: * June 1994: First version, gathering Namelists 67-71 * June 1996: Second Version, gathering Namelists 67-72 * Sept 1997: Third Version, gathering Namelists 67-73 Acknowledgements: The computer-readable version has been compiled by O.V.
