CDROM/AJ/V109/P1239 Variable Star Survey (Schmidt+ 1995) ================================================================================ The Behlen Observatory Variable Star Survey. Paper III. Edward G. Schmidt, John R. Chab, and Darwin E. Reiswig <1995, AJ, 109, 1239> =1995AJ....109.1239S ================================================================================ Abstract: Finding charts, accurate coordinates and light curves are presented for 146 variable stars including three which are newly discovered. Parameters descriptive of the light curves are tabulated including periods for eight stars which lacked them in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (the GCVS). GCVS periods of twelve stars were found to be seriously in error. The classification of the stars is discussed. Revisions or refinements of the classifications from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars are suggested for thirty-one stars. Of the nineteen stars classified as Bailey type c RR Lyrae stars in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars, five are found to be short period eclipsing or ellipsoidal variables. Seventeen percent of the Bailey type ab RR Lyrae stars and 14% of the type c's show scatter in their light curves which is suggestive of the Blazhko effect. Description: The data were supplied by the author in two FITS ASCII files, schmidta.fit and schmidtb.fit. These files contain 72 and 74 extensions, respectively, one for each variable star, giving the VR photometry. See table 1 in the printed paper for a listing of the variable stars, their Guide Star Catalogue numbers, and coordinates. The FITS extensions were extracted into individual text files named after the object. The format of these data files are identical.
