Monitoring discussions like this that make use of the ASAS data prompts me to remind the AAVSO'ers that there is another data base that might be of interest when examining a suspect variable. The ongoing TASS data base is available on line at: http://sallman.tass-survey.org/servlet/markiv/template/Welcome.vm This is a different data base from the Mark III data base that shows up on Vizier. It is the result of current operation of 6 automated telescopes with 2k x 2k CCD cameras in Batavia, IL I think the current data base has 35 million V, Ic pairs in it now. Another 15 million are in the mail. Yet another 20 million or so are on my desk. Mike has written a very nice plotting program that allows showing the long term variation while allowing you to expand the plot to se the short term variation. While we still label it "Engineering Data" I doubt it will change. There are many new variable stars that have been gleaned from this data. Many of them are discussed on our Wiki. What is a Wiki? I hear you ask. Go to the site and see. http://wiki.tass-survey.org/tass/view.do?nodeId=Tass Click on TassStars near the bottom of the page or go there directly at: http://wiki.tass-survey.org/tass/view.do?nodeId=Tass&contentId=TassStars Whenever I have time (not very often) I search for new variables. There are plenty to be found. The TASS data base is open to all. It the style of TASS there are no rules. The main tass site is at: http://vsnet.tass-survey.org/ You will want to click on "Go to the tass techincal area" and click on one of the things in the orange box.
