(fwd) Hassforther's new variable stars From: Bela1996@aol.com Date: Sat, 25 Sep 1999 19:53:19 EDT Subject: new variable stars Hello, I've found some new variable Stars in the Stardial-Field 1900. Here are the first ten stars with positions, identifications and some comments. I checked a couple of catalogs (GCVS, NSV, MISAO, TASS and some other) and made recherches in SIMBAD - nothing was found, so I'm sure, that these stars are new. I checked the variability of my=20 findings with the TASS-Database http://vsnet.tass-survey.org/tass/www_scripts/make_chart.html and could verify all but one star (declination too much in the south for=20 TASS). Lightcurves are published on my homepage=20 http://members.aol.com/bela1998/stard2.htm=20 One star (No 04) is already published in the IBVS (No 4742), for another star (No 22) I published a lightcurve in the magazin of the German Working Group on Variable Stars (BAV) No 3 / 1999, p. 144. The Stardial-images (http://vsnet.astro.uiuc.edu/stardial/) are immediately available on the web. Three years of sky-patrol provide a rich hunting-ground for the variable-star-observer. The new variables were found by blinking only four images! By verifying the findings in animation-mode (with 30 images) I found some more new stars. For the light-curves all good images were used (ca 190). Some stars (Nos 05, 10, 11) are too faint, therefore I took=20 the TASS-measurements for a first evaluation. The Stardial-project is one of the most fascinating aspects of the WEB, many thanks to Peter McCullough!! The TASS-Database was a very valuable source to check and verify my findings. Many thanks to the TASS-people!! This reaearch made use of the SIMBAD data base, operated by the CDS at Strasbourg, France.
