Though not confirmed myself, the code Q1993/009 indicates the discovery note was issued by The Astronomer (or on its electronic circular), which is searchable through ADS or AAA. Some of Wakuda's variables have been published in VSOLJ Variable Star Bulletin, which has been sent to major variable star organizations and institutes. The Variable Star Bulletin has been on the AAA index system, and a number of new variable stars have been designated by referring to this publication (the best known case may be V1413 Aql = AS 338, whose nature was first revealed by Wakuda). A large number of ongoing Takamizawa's discoveries, I presume, will be on the same way. Regards, Taichi Kato
