ADC_Keywords: Stars, variable ;
Description:
This file contains Galactic stars known or suspected to be variable.
It lists all stars that have an entry in the AAVSO International
Variable Star Index (VSX; http://www.aavso.org/vsx).
The database consisted initially of the General Catalogue of Variable
Stars (GCVS) and the New Catalogue of Suspected Variables (NSV) and
was then supplemented with a large number of variable star catalogues,
as well as individual variable star discoveries or variables found in
the literature. Effort has also been invested to update the entries
with the latest information regarding position, type and period and to
remove duplicates. The VSX database is being continually updated and
maintained.
For historical reasons some objects outside of the Galaxy have been
included.
