INTRODUCTION ------------------ The present fifth (and the last) volume of the 4th Edition of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) is our first attempt to collect in a unified form the data for all variable and suspected variable stars - either members of extragalactic systems or observed in the direction of such systems due to projection. This GCVS volume, like all previous GCVS volumes, is published as a book as well as presented in a computer-readable form. References to all volumes of the present, 4th GCVS edition are given in Section V ("References") of this file. The present state of data systematization for extragalactic variable stars is extremely different for different galaxies. For some galaxies, all data for known variables are presented in a single paper, for other galaxies such information is scattered in the literature, similar to the situation with the variables of our Galaxy. For some galaxies, it is only possible to find in the literature rectangular co-ordinates of variable stars; for other galaxies, equatorial co-ordinates of different accuracy are also published. The availability of finding charts also differs from one galaxy to another. We attempted to gather in the present volume all extragalactic variable stars for which it is possible to find in the literature positional information of reasonable accuracy or to measure positions anew. Here we turned aside from the practice of GCVS vols. I - III and, whenever possible, attempted to improve co-ordinates of variables ourselves, trying to present equatorial co-ordinates with the accuracy to 0.1 s in right ascension, and to 1" in declination. For the Andromeda galaxy M 31 we adopted even higher standard accuracy (to 0.01 s in right ascension, and to 0".1 in declination). The co-ordinate measurements, on photographic charts as well as on original plates, were done mainly by V.P. Goranskij. During improving co-ordinates, a number of cases of identity of stars considered in original publications to be different objects were found (especially in the Magellanic Clouds). We realize that during identification and positional improvement we have unavoidably made several mistakes, and we shall be grateful to users for suggestions and corrections. It was attempted to keep information complete up to the beginning of 1993. We have also selected for this catalogue stars showing large scatter of individual measurements from several publications devoted to photometry of stars in external galaxies but not announcing variability discoveries explicitly. It is to be noted that, as already mentioned in the Introduction to volume III of the GCVS 4th Edition, we retained the traditional identification (suggested by the discoverers, [248] - hereafter references in square brackets are to the file evs_ref) of the variables Z Tuc - TX Tuc (in the system of names of the GCVS vols. I - III), situated in the region of the Large Magellanic Cloud, with the stars of the HV lists. One should remember, however, that this identification, already characterized as somewhat uncertain in [248], is in fact not seriously justified at all. In the cases of SS Tuc and TV Tuc we had to deny these identifications since they led to contradictions; probably for SS Tuc the paper [248] contains a misprint in the HV number. Information on extragalactic variable stars is gathered in two parts. The first part, the Catalogue of extragalactic variables proper, contains data on variable stars in galaxies with at least one known variable. If supernova outbursts have been observed in such a galaxy, information on supernovae is also included. Information on all extragalactic supernovae is contained in the Catalogue of supernovae. If, for a given galaxy, no other type variables are known, then the Table of supernovae is the only source of information for this galaxy in volume V. The total number of objects in the Catalogue of extragalactic variables is 10979, that in the Catalogue of extragalactic supernovae is 984. II. STRUCTURE OF THE CATALOGUE OF EXTRAGALACTIC VARIABLES (Files : evs_cat, evs_rem, evs_ref) ----------------------------------------------------------- The structure of the main Table of the Catalogue of Extragalactic Variables of volume V (file evs_cat.dat) is in general similar to that used for main tables in vols. I - III (CDS, II/139/). Variable stars are arranged within corresponding galaxies. The catalogue begins with data on variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Small Magellanic Cloud, large galaxies of Andromeda (M 31) and Triangulum (M 33); then, other galaxies are arranged in the order of increasing right ascensions of their centers (equinox 1950.0).

This numbering system begins with 089, the first 88 codes being reserved for constellations (cf. computer-readable versions of the GCVS volumes I-III). Note that NGC 1466 is a globular cluster (not a galaxy) between the LMC and the SMC; we presented it separately, because it is not clear to which galaxy to attribute its variable stars. VARIABLE STAR No WITHIN THE GALAXY - Number of the variable star in the galaxy. If in the literature for the considered galaxy there exist several different variable star numbering systems, we have introduced new numbers in the order of increasing right ascension for the equinox 1950.0. But if the variable star numbering system for the galaxy is practically of general use, we have retained it - if necessary, with additional numbers ordered by increasing right ascension. (Traditional numbering system in the Triangulum galaxy M 33 reaches V83 [323]; however, since V79 [323] is identical with V30 [313], we have retained traditional numeration up to V78, and designated stars V80-V83 from [323] as V79-V82). Due to last-moment improvements of variable star positions in M 31, there are several cases in this galaxy of the order of increasing right ascension being not strictly fulfilled. VARIABLE STAR DESIGNATION - The name of the variable in the adopted system of variable star designations: name of the galaxy (see Table 1) + "V" + variable star No. within the galaxy (see column VARIABLE STAR No WITHIN THE GALAXY). REMARK(S) FLAG - An asterisk (*) following the number shows that there is a remark for this star (see file evs_rem). The Remarks in volume V in general follow the pattern of GCVS vols. I-III. Since the majority of stars in the present volume are faint objects in dense star fields, it would take too much space in the Remarks to describe the presence of neighboring stars, so we had to restrict ourselves to the most necessary comments of this kind. In the magnetic version of the remarks, Greek letters are reproduced by Latin letters, like "alpha", "Delta", etc.; the upper case first Latin letter in such constructions means that the corresponding Greek letter is in upper case. EQUATORIAL COORDINATES - The star's right ascension and declination for the equinox 1950.0. In the present computer-readable version, if the star's coordinates are only roughly known, they are nevertheless formally presented to one second of time in right ascension (with the decimal point following) and to one arcsecond in declination (with the decimal point following). The column following the coordinates, in such cases, contains a flag indicating the real accuracy. The flag (") means right ascensions accurate to one second of time and declinations accurate to one arcsecond; the flag (:) means declinations accurate to one tenth of an arcminute; the flag (*) means declinations accurate to one arcminute. For V0474 in the Sculptor system, the listed coordinates refer to the galaxy's center since the coordinates of the star itself are unknown - the flag (!). TYPE OF VARIABILITY - The classification systems corresponds to the GCVS vols. I-III. In the present volume we introduce one new variable star type in addition to the classification system described in our earlier publications. This is the BLBOO type, called after the prototype star BL Boo = V19 in the globular cluster NGC 5466 and referring to the so-called "anomalous Cepheids", i.e. stars with periods characteristic of comparatively long-period RRAB variables, but considerably brighter by luminosity (in a very probable assumption of membership in the corresponding galaxy). There is a number of such stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies, in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Note that the wide scale introduction of this type for variable stars of our Galaxy is restricted because of a reliable independent luminosity estimate being not available for the majority of stars. The catalogue of extragalactic variable stars also includes suspected variables. For such stars this column contains the symbol "var:". MAXIMUM MAGNITUDE (LIGHT) - The star's magnitude in maximum brightness. MINIMUM MAGNITUDE (LIGHT) - That in minimum brightness. The majority of magnitudes in the catalogue are given to one digit after the decimal point. It shows that they were determined by means of photographic or visual observations. Photoelectrically or CCD-determined magnitudes are given, as a rule, to two digits after the decimal point. The column MIN may contain the variability amplitude instead (in brackets). The symbol "(" means that the variable is fainter in minimal brightness than the magnitude value after that symbol; the symbol ")" means that the variable is brighter in maximal brightness than the value following that symbol. MAGNITUDE CODE - The designation of the photometric band. P means photographic magnitudes, V means visual or photovisual magnitudes as well as V system magnitudes. In the latter case, they are usually distinguishable from visual magnitudes by the number of digits after the decimal point (as a rule, V system magnitudes are based upon photoelectric or CCD photometry). Letters U, B, R, I, J, H, K, L, M, N, O, Q mean, as a rule, magnitudes expressed in corresponding systems of broad-band photometry. EPOCH JD 24...- The epoch expressed as a date of the Julian period (JD). For eclipsing and ellipsoidal variables, RV Tau and RS CVn stars, the catalogue gives epochs of minimum light, and for the rest of variables, epoch of maximum light. If this rule is not fulfilled, necessary explanations appear in Remarks. For novae and supernovae, epochs of maximal brightness in Julian days are presented, followed by years of outbursts (in brackets). PERIOD - The variable star's period in days. For U Gem stars and recurrent novae, this column gives (in brackets) the mean cycle value, if known. M-m OR D - The duration of light increase from minimum to maximum (M-m) for intrinsic variable stars or the eclipse duration (D) for Algol type variables are expressed in hundredths of the photometric period for the star in question. An asterisk (*) to the right side of the column means, for an eclipsing variable, that the duration of the constant brightness phase in minimum (d) for this star is equal to zero. SPECTRUM - The spectral type. If there exist several spectral type determinations for a star, we preferred more recent ones, taking into account reliability of each determination. We converted symbols "d" (dwarfs) and "g" (giants) into luminosity classes V and III. If a nova showed spectral features typical of novae during or after the outburst, a symbol (NOVA) is given in this column. If the spectrum shows features characteristic of U Gem variables, this column contains the symbol (UG). Continuous spectrum is designated "cont", the symbol "e" means emission spectrum, lower case letters "ea", "eb" in this column stand for "e alpha", "e beta". For RR Lyrae stars, spectral types from hydrogen lines are given. A plus sign (+) between two spectral type values means that spectra of two components of a spectroscopic binary are observed. Two spectral type values separated with a minus sign (-) mean the range of spectral type variations in the process of brightness changes. REFERENCES - References to the literature (the first reference is to the study of the star, the second one is to the finding chart). The list of references for vol. V is independent of those in the earlier Volumes of the Catalogue, and it is to be noted that different lists of references are to be used for the main Catalogue (see file evs_ref) and for the Catalogue of supernovae (see file sn_ref). DESIGNATIONS - The designation of the variable star in the paper indicated in the first reference to the literature (see above). If the paper with the finding chart indicated in the second reference uses another designation, the latter designation is also given. VARIABLE STAR IDENTIFICATION (GCVS, NSV) - If the star has a designation in the system of GCVS vols. I-III, or if it enters the NSV catalogue, the corresponding designation (number) is given. NON-MEMBER - Symbols "n" or "n:" for nonmembers (possible nonmembers) of the galaxy in question. For the stars that enter the GCVS vols. I-III or the NSV catalogue and are not members of the corresponding galaxy, the present volume gives only the running number, co-ordinates, the symbol "n", and the GCVS or NSV name. III. STRUCTURE OF THE CATALOGUE OF EXTRAGALACTIC SUPERNOVAE (Files : sn_cat, sn_rem, sn_ref) -------------------------------------------------------------- We have compiled the Catalogue of extragalactic supernovae using the GCVS card catalogue. We paid attention mainly to positional and photometric information on stars themselves. The catalogue includes supernovae that appeared before the end of 1993. To improve information on parent galaxies, we used in some cases a computer version of the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies by G. de Vaucouleurs, A. de Vaucouleurs, H.G. Corwin, Jr., R.J. Buta, G. Paturel, P. Fouque, 1991, New York: Springer and the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Caltech, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The catalogue is arranged in chronological order of the SN designations. Table 3.

Sign (-) marks objects presently rejected as supernovae. If an asterisk (*) follows the designation, there is a remark for this object. Remarks (see file sn_rem) indicate other cases of supernova outbursts in the same galaxy, contain descriptions of behavior for some stars, etc. For supernovae entering also our catalogue of extragalactic variables, there may be a reference to Remarks of the catalogue of extragalactic variables (see file evs_rem). PARENT GALAXY'S DESIGNATION. Here "N" means NGC catalogue numbers, "I" refers to the IC catalogue, "U", to the UGC catalogue, "M", to the MCG catalogue, and "E", to ESO survey lists. The symbol "An" means an anonymous galaxy (i.e., a galaxy absent in major catalogues of bright galaxies), and the symbol "Intergal" is for cases when the supernova cannot be reliably attributed to a particular galaxy and is considered intergalactic. EQUATORIAL CO-ORDINATES OF THE PARENT GALAXY (EQUINOX 1950.0) are given. The standard accuracy of presented coordinates is to 0.1 s in right ascension and to 1" in declination, but in many cases we had to give coordinates of lower accuracy. In such cases, the column following the coordinates contains a flag similar to those described above, in the section devoted to the Catalogue of extragalactic variables. GALAXY'S MORPHOLOGICAL TYPE and its INTEGRATED MAGNITUDE taken from available sources. The integrated magnitude may be followed by a symbol indicating the photometric band (MAGNITUDE CODE); we preferred B magnitudes. If the photometric system symbol is missing, the magnitude is a photographic one. MAXIMUM MAGNITUDE (LIGHT) OF SN - the supernova's maximum brightness date and its apparent magnitude in maximum. If a value is followed by an asterisk (*), it means that the date and/or the magnitude refer not to the maximum (not covered with observations), but to the EPOCH OF DISCOVERY or to an isolated observation at high brightness. As a rule, we did not include information about maxima if it was based on considerable extrapolation. Lack of photometric band symbol (MAGNITUDE CODE) indicates photographic magnitudes. If the magnitude is given with two digits after the decimal point, it is based on photoelectric or CCD photometry. The positional information on the supernova itself follows. It consists in the DISTANCE FROM THE GALAXY'S NUCLEUS TO THE SUPERNOVA in right ascension and declination, in arcseconds, or immediately in the SUPERNOVA'S EQUATORIAL CO-ORDINATES FOR THE EQUINOX 1950.0. The standard accuracy of equatorial co-ordinates is the same as in the case of parent galaxies. For a number of supernovae, information on rectangular and on equatorial co-ordinates is not in complete agreement if we take into account published co-ordinates of parent galaxies. To remove such contradictions completely, it would be necessary to determine anew and independently the co-ordinates for supernovae and their parent galaxies. The equatorial coordinates may also have lower accuracy flags (see above). SUPERNOVA'S CLASSIFICATION - The system of classification for supernovae is being permanently improved; however, we are not able to extend the application of some recently introduced and already frequently used types, like I-C, to supernovae discovered in earlier years. So we have limited ourselves to the use of types I (I-A, I-B) and II (II-l, II-pl), with possible indications of peculiarities (pec). NAME OF THE SUPERNOVA'S DISCOVERER is given next. In cases of several discoverers, we give the name of the first author of the discovery followed by "+" symbol. As a rule, we did not present information on independent rediscoveries in the remarks, for the sake of brevity. The abbreviation "BASST" in this column means that the supernova was discovered by the Berkeley Automated Supernova Search Team. BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES - three-digit numbers corresponding to the reference list (sn_ref). The first reference is usually to the source of photometric information. The second one is to a paper where the galaxy's photograph with the supernova or a finding chart was published. IV.
