[vsnet-chat 5397] two stars with the same variable star name

[Seiichi Yoshida <comet@aerith.net>]

Dear colleagues,

While researching revision catalogs, I found the positions of NSV
2473, NSV 11194 and CU Vul have been revised into different positions
in Williams, and pat2.srt or pat.srt.

NSV 2473
    gcvs2000.all	053755.79  +083742.2
    pat2.srt		053752.17  +083916.0
    williams		053738.70  +083456.6

NSV 11194
    gcvs2000.all	183950.51  +385749.7
    pat2.srt		184019.110 +381951.98
    williams		183950.69  +385901.4

CU Vul
    gcvs2000.all	194834.6   +214008
    pat.srt		194834.696 +213736.46
    williams		194835.00  +214007.6

In these two cases, there are two stars with the same name. When we
observe those stars, which star should we report the magnitude data
with the variable star name?

The magnitude data of these stars may be confused in some database...

Best regards,
