New GCVS Versions for Three Southern Constellations
We are currently working on a version of the General Catalogue ofVariable Stars (GCVS) revised taking into account the new dataaccumulated since the 4th GCVS edition. A draft new version will bereleased for each constellation as soon as the work for theconstellation is finished. It will contain all stars of the 4th GCVSedition plus a complete catalogue of the stars added to the GCVS in theName Lists of Variable Stars Nos. 67 - 78. Now we are ready for thefirst release, containing more than 1300 variable stars in theconstellations of Antlia, Ara, and Telescopium. When preparing therelease, we actively used modern data-mining possibilities to improvevariability types and light elements. This paper introduces the firstrelease of the new GCVS version and presents new results (types, lightelements), based mainly on data mining, for 213 stars.
| Hipparcos red stars in the HpV_T2 and V I_C systems
For Hipparcos M, S, and C spectral type stars, we provide calibratedinstantaneous (epoch) Cousins V - I color indices using newly derivedHpV_T2 photometry. Three new sets of ground-based Cousins V I data havebeen obtained for more than 170 carbon and red M giants. These datasetsin combination with the published sources of V I photometry served toobtain the calibration curves linking Hipparcos/Tycho Hp-V_T2 with theCousins V - I index. In total, 321 carbon stars and 4464 M- and S-typestars have new V - I indices. The standard error of the mean V - I isabout 0.1 mag or better down to Hp~9 although it deteriorates rapidly atfainter magnitudes. These V - I indices can be used to verify thepublished Hipparcos V - I color indices. Thus, we have identified ahandful of new cases where, instead of the real target, a random fieldstar has been observed. A considerable fraction of the DMSA/C and DMSA/Vsolutions for red stars appear not to be warranted. Most likely suchspurious solutions may originate from usage of a heavily biased color inthe astrometric processing.Based on observations from the Hipparcos astrometric satellite operatedby the European Space Agency (ESA 1997).}\fnmsep\thanks{Table 7 is onlyavailable in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp tocdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/397/997
