[vsnet-chat 41] Eclipsing stars ephemeris

[Roland Boninsegna <roland.boninsegna@gate71.be>]

In response to: 

 By the way, present Japanese eclipsing binary observers often use
what is called "Krakow's table" (SAC) or GCVS 4 for predicting minima
times -- prediction sometimes too unreliable.  Does anyone know other
up-to-date and comprehensive eclipsing binary ephemeris table?

Regards,
Taichi Kato



The german group BAV also publish these kind of ephemeris
(www;mailbox.de/~thecat/bav.html). The best way is to use such software, as
the one the Belgian Patrick Wils wrote some years ago, where you can update
the parameters of the eclipsing stars and print clear predictions for your
site.
