Abstract: | We present a new electronic version of the General Catalog of Variable Stars (GCVS) based on the new IAU name list of confirmed
variable stars. The catalog contains 1270 stars, most of them contained earlier in the New Catalog of Suspected Variable Stars
or its supplement. A number of recent studies—including those by authors of the catalog, who investigated many stars using
data from modern automatic surveys, determined light-curve elements for periodic stars, and plotted numerous light curves—have
made it possible to move these stars to the GCVS. Among the catalog objects, 24 stars are novae or other unusual variable
stars that acquired their GCVS names out of the usual order, upon communication from the Bureau of Astronomical Telegrams
of the International Astronomical Union. We present the GCVS names, coordinates, classifications (in two forms: the GCVS system
and a new, proposed system), brightness-variation limits, and light-curve elements for the catalog stars, as well as bibliographic
references and remarks when necessary. We discuss several catalog stars that are of astrophysical interest or caused problems
during the compilation of the catalog. |
