For printed versions of these Name-Lists see IBVS No.2681,1985; No.3058,1987; No.3323,1989; No.3530,1990; No.3840,1993; No.4140,1995; No.4471,1997. There are 3506 stars in the Name-Lists Nos.67-73 (file "nl.dat"). The variables are arranged in the order of their names inside constellations. One star of the 67th Name-List (V1810 Cyg=No.67247) turned out to be non-existing, it has been excluded from the table. The identification table (file "ident.dat") and the list of references (file "ref.dat") follow. The total number of designated variable stars has now reached 31918. In the new computer-readable version 1.1 of the GCVS, vol. IV (...IV\iv.dat), we now present identifications also for name-list stars (excepting the 73rd Name-List). We make no special attempt to present the material in a completely homogeneous form. There happened minor style evolution from the 67th to the 73rd Name-List: particularly, the 67th Name-List normally refers in the identification table only to the catalogues cited in the papers mentioned in the references in the files "nl.dat" and "ident.dat", and to the 70th Name-List it became a common practice to give more catalogue identifications. From the Name-List No.70, there is no completeness in identifications with the old catalogues of suspected variables (CSV), in many cases we consider the NSV identification sufficient; from the 73rd Name-List we have changed the standard accuracy, to 1 second of arc. We also do not try to update the information of the older Name-Lists, we only put the information together and correct known mistakes. The corrections to the Name-Lists have been taken into account. It is necessary to reproduce here the remarks from forewords of the printed Name-Lists: Name-List No.69. In the case of the variable stars in the open cluster NGC 3766 (V843-V849 Cen), there is some ambiguity in their identification with the HD,CoD,CPD catalogues. In particular, we do not agree with the HD catalogue identification of HD 100856 with CPD-60 3102 and consider V843 Cen=CPD-60 3102 to be identical with HDE 306794; HD 100856=CPD-60 3112. Name-List No.70. The 70th Name-List contains a number of variables in Taurus discovered by J. Kelemen [70113]. Unfortunately the discovery announcement contains some mistakes in co-ordinates and in identifications with other lists. These mistakes have been corrected according to [70114]. Name-List No.73. For V725 and V726 Cas, we could not improve the published rough coordinates because finding charts are not available.

(') means right ascensions accurate to one minute of time and declinations accurate to one arcminute. Note on magMax, magMin: The star's magnitude in minimum and maximum brightness. Instead of the magnitude in minimum, the star's amplitude of variation may be indicated (in brackets). For stars with photoelectric photometry, two decimals after the decimal point are presented (or sometimes, in the case of amplitudes, three decimals); one decimal is given in the case of photographic or visual magnitudes, no decimals follow the decimal point in the cases of very rough magnitude estimates. Note on n_magMax, n_magMin: Code for alternate photometric system. Field is non-blank if magMin is a magnitude or amplitude given in a system other than that indicated by magCode. The designations u,v,b,y refer to the Stroemgren system. An asterisk in the corresponding position for V2027 Cyg means the amplitude measured in white light. Note on magCode: the photometric system in which magMin and magMax are reported (see also Note on n_magMax, n_magMin). The main codes are P (photographic magnitudes) and V (visual, photovisual, or Johnson's V). Several stars from the 68th Name-List have in these positions "1." designating the 1.04 micrometer band of the system introduced by G.W.Lockwood. The designations u,v,b,y refer to the Stroemgren system. The symbols "Ic" and "Rc" mean magnitudes in Cousins' I system. "g" designates magnitudes in the system of Thuan and Gunn; "T" stands for broad-band Tycho magnitudes formed from B and V measurements; "r" are red magnitudes not tied to a particular system. Note on VarType: type of variability (see file ...III\vartype.txt). The system of variable star classification corresponds to the GCVS4, with six additions (ZZO, AM, R, BE, LBV, BLBOO) introduced in the Name-Lists 67- 72 and in the GCVS vol.V. Note on Ref2: If no chart is available for the variable, but the star is contained in one of the Durchmusterung catalogs or the Hubble Space Telescope Guide Star Catalog, the corresponding abbreviation (BD, CPD, CoD, GSC) is given. Note on NL: the Name-List number. Printed versions of every Name-List have their own numbering systems for variables and references. In order not to change numbers and to make it possible to distinguish among Name-Lists, we use combined star numbers of the form aabbb, where aa is the number of the Name-List, and bbb is the star number in the Name-List No.aa; for example, UX Tri=No.69015= star No.015 in the Name-List No.69. The same numbering is used for references, but in the numbers of references in the file nl.dat we omit the "aa" positions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: ident.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 9 A9 --- GCVS *Variable star designation 10 A1 --- --- [=] Equality sign 11-15 I5 --- NL *[67001/73381] Name-List number 16 A1 --- --- [=] Equality sign 17-80 A64 --- ID *Identifications -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note on GCVS, NL: This file consists of lines not longer than 80 symbols. Information for a star may occupy one line or more. If a line contains the continuation for a star, its first 15 bytes are repeated. Note on ID: all identifications needed to find the star in the papers with the first (or independent) announcement of the discovery of its variability. References to these papers (see file "ref.dat") are given in square brackets after the corresponding identification. The name of the discoverer accompanies the reference only in the case of its being different from the name of the author(s) of the paper referred to. For the stars having NSV catalogue numbers, the references to discovery papers already taken into account in the NSV catalogue are not always given. Different identifications of the same star are separated with equality signs. In some cases, short remarks are given after the full stop following the last identification. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: ref.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 2 I2 --- NLnum [67/73] Name-List number 3- 5 I3 --- Ref [1/484] Reference number 7-228 A222 --- Text *Text of reference -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note on Text: In the present version we attempted to give Latin transliterations of Russian-language names of astronomical periodicals and books. We did not try to unificate the Latin spelling of names with Cyrillic (or other) original forms, but simply tried to reproduce the Latin transcriptions in the publications referred to. Of course this may lead to some confusion, hopefully minor. If a paper enters lists of references of several Name-Lists, it appears several times in the present version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgements: The computer-readable version has been compiled by O.V.
