INTRODUCTION



This catalog is a compilation of 14811 stars suspected

of variability and not finally designated as variables prior to 1980.

It is the successor to the "Catalogues of Stars Suspected of

Variability" published in 1951 and 1965 (Kukarkin et al.). Data

contained in the present catalog include positions, magnitudes,

variability types, alternate designations, and references to the

literature. The computer version of NSV contains principally the same

data as in the printed catalog, but only the data table without the

textual material (bibliography, remarks) is included. Necessary

corrections were introduced, as of June, 1997, and coordinates were

improved, compared to the printed version, for about half of the stars

in the catalog.



Science the 2000 year we have started preparation of an electronic

release the new version of NSV, wich will contain improved coordinates

J2000 and other improved data. We present a preliminary version for

3500 stars from NSV.

Note on NSVLetter: The letter "A" is present for one star, NSV 10360A,

which is a completely different object from NSV 10360.

Note on NoteFlag1: see the document by Kukarkin et al.(1982)

There are several data fields that can contain asterisks. These signify

that more complete information will be found in the remarks to the

published catalog. The remarks are, unfortunately, not machine

readable, but they do contain much supplemental information. There, one

will find information covering situations like, e.g.:

1. The discoverer of the light variability is not the author of the

paper cited in the variability reference, or is one of several authors

of the paper cited. In these cases, discoverers' names are given

in original transcriptions of the remarks.

2. The most important additional information about a star, although the

NSV compilers did not intend to present complete bibliographies for any

cataloged stars.

3. Remarks for visual binaries (in parentheses following the number of a

star in the corresponding catalog) giving visual magnitudes for the

individual components A and B, angular separations, and position angles

for faint components (or semimajor axis of a relative orbit and period

of orbital motion). Data for other components are then given where

applicable. (Combined magnitudes are generally reported in the

machine-readable table.)

Note on RAh, RAm, RAs, DE-, DEd, DEm, DEs:

The position is not listed when the variable is equivalent to a GCVS

star (column VarName).

Note on u_DEs:

The actual accuracy of coordinates is indicated with the symbols:

(:) means right ascensions accurate to one second of time and

declinations accurate to one tenth of an arcminute;

(*) means declinations accurate to one arcminute.

Note on VarType: type of variability (see file ...\III\vartype.txt).

The system of variable star classification corresponds to the GCVS4,

with six additions (ZZO, AM, R, BE, LBV, BLBOO) introduced in the

Name-Lists 67- 72 and in the GCVS vol.V.

Note on magMax, magMin: Magnitudes are reported to hundredths if the

observations are photoelectric, to tenths or whole magnitudes if they

are not. If only an amplitude has been measured photoelectrically, then

the maximum magnitude is generally given to tenths only and the minimum

is reported to hundredths.

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).

See also the documents by Kholopov et al. (1985-1988) or Warren (1988).

Note on Ref1: Usually a 6-digit number coding, as a rule, the reference to the

announcement of the discovery of variability. The first two digits give the

year (in the 20th century) when the announcement was published (blank

for the 19th century). The next four digits give the number in the list

of references contained in the published catalog, which is generally the

first publication announcing the possible variability. The numbers are

followed by a letter code in most cases (byte 75) with the following

meanings:

K: the cited paper contains a chart or photograph of

the field with the suspected variable marked.

D: the cited paper does not contain a chart, but the

star is cataloged in one of the Durchmusterungen

(DM) (BD,CD,CPD).

Note on Desig: The identification of the suspected variable in the

paper referenced above. DM numbers are given without a prefix, the

standard naming convention of "The Henry Draper Catalogue" being used

(BD for zones +89 to -22; CD for -23 to -51; CP for -52 to -89).

Some identifications are given by coordinate designations, a 6-digit

number consisting of hours, minutes, and seconds (or tenths of a minute)

of time and degrees of declination with sign included. An asterisk (*)

signifies that a designation is given in the remarks to the published

catalog.

Stars are sometimes designated with numbers from the catalogs of Zinner

(ZI, 1929) and Prager (PR, 1934, 1937) because the original discovery

publications were not available to the NSV compilers. The catalogs of

Zinner and Prager give detailed references to early observations of such

stars.



Note on SpType: Spectral types and subtypes only are given.

Most luminosity classes are III to V, but if a star is a supergiant,

more detailed classification information is given in the remarks to the

published catalog. The following symbols are used:

AF A-F

AM Am

AP Ap

BE Be

E emission spectrum

EA e sub alpha

EV variable emission in spectrum

FG F-G

KM K-M

OF Of

PD Pd

T characteristics of T Tauri stars

Note on Ref2: The coding for the numbers is similar to that used

in the variability references described above, except that there are no

letter codes. These are references to papers containing identification

charts if no charts are given in the papers cited for the variability

references.

Note on VarName, NoteFlag2:

1) The alternative name of the variable. All necessary information on

the star is to be found under that alternative name, in the iii.zip and

nl.zip files.

2) The star's name in the GCVS Vol. V (see the file v.zip, where the

explanation of the designations is also given). In this case, the

symbol "*" in column 89 means the presence of remarks in Vol. V.
