[vsnet-chat 39] Japanese "Variable Stars" 1997 Vol. 28 No.1

[Taichi Kato <tkato@kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp>]

   Japanese "Variable Stars" 1997 Vol. 28 No.1 has been recently published
by "Nihon Henkousei Kenkyuukai" (Reserch Group for Variable Stars in Japan?).
Titles from this monthly-to-bimonthly issue (text in Japanese).

  * From the recent observations (Y. Maehara): visual observations of little
    observed or poorly studied eclipsing binaries.

     ZZ Aur, V523 Cas, V432 Per, AM Tau

  * Report on the "Variable Star Festival", Nagano division (M. Momose)

     Unfortunate clouds with some breaks.  The target star X Tri was not
     observed.  Demonstration of CCD observation.

  * February stars (M. Watanabe)

     Recommended Mira stars, RV Tau stars, bright CVs

  * Prediction of Mira-type maxima dates for 1997 (M. Watanabe)

  * Inivitation to the Februrary "Variable Star Party"

  (Sorry again for my very _iikagen_ English summary > Watanabe-san)

   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?

Taichi Kato
