Abstract:
We present the first release of the Czech Variable star catalogue that
currently contains 1228 stars whose variability was discovered by 60
Czech observers. The catalogue contains confirmed variable stars of
various types, but also candidates. We give precise coordinates, cross
identification with other catalogues, information about constellation,
variability type, brightness, light elements, name of the discoverer
and year of discovery. In eighty-eight percent of stars the
variability type is estimated, for more than 60% of the stars the
light ephemerides are given.
Description:
The Czech Variable star catalogue (CzeV) was created by L. Brat
(2005, 2006) as a public online database that serves as a list of
variable stars whose variability was discovered by observers from the
Czech Republic. The initial idea comes from M. Zejda, who compiled
Czech discoveries till the establishment of the CzeV catalogue. The
CzeV is managed and administrated by the Variable Star and Exoplanet
Section of the Czech Astronomical Society (VSES CAS) and is available
at http://var2.astro.cz/czev.php.
