New GCVS Versions for Three Southern Constellations
Abstract
We are currently working on a version of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) revised taking into account the new data accumulated since the 4th GCVS edition. A draft new version will be released for each constellation as soon as the work for the constellation is finished. It will contain all stars of the 4th GCVS edition plus a complete catalogue of the stars added to the GCVS in the Name Lists of Variable Stars Nos. 67 - 78. Now we are ready for the first release, containing more than 1300 variable stars in the constellations of Antlia, Ara, and Telescopium. When preparing the release, we actively used modern data-mining possibilities to improve variability types and light elements. This paper introduces the first release of the new GCVS version and presents new results (types, light elements), based mainly on data mining, for 213 stars.
