Future of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars from the Experience of Recent Name-lists
Open Astronomy, 2021 We briefly outline the history of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) and the New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars (NSV catalogue). Recently, we have completed a revision of the NSV catalogue.

Axial Rotation of Globular Star Clusters [PDF]
Nature, 1936 THE axial rotation of globular star clusters has not yet been measured, so far as we know, from the differences of radial velocities at their opposite edges, but indirect evidence of their rotation is the observed ellipticity. The oblateness e of a rotating body depends on the ratio of the centrifugal force to the gravity at the star's surface ; that ...

VARIABLE STARS IN THE GLOBULAR CLUSTER NGC 2808 [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2013 The first calibrated broadband BVI time-series photometry is presented for the variable stars in NGC 2808, with observations spanning a range of twenty-eight years. We have also redetermined the variability types and periods for the variable stars identified previously by Corwin et al, revising the number of probable fundamental-mode RR Lyrae variables

Young, Massive Star Clusters in the Antennae [PDF]
, 2008 While massive star clusters have been detected in almost every galaxy with appreciable star formation, they are most prevalent in interacting and merging galaxies. As many as 95% of these clusters will ultimately be disrupted, often in the first 10 Myr,

Searching for New Globular Clusters in M31 with Gaia EDR3
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have found 50 new globular cluster (GC) candidates around M31 with Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3), with the help of Pan-STARRS1 DR1 magnitudes and Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) images.

Nature, 1888 PHYSICAL aggregations of stars may be broadly divided into “globular” and “irregular” clusters. Although, as might have been expected, the line of demarcation between the two classes is by no means sharply drawn, each has its own marked peculiarities. We shall limit our attention, in the present article, to the first kind.

Variability in NGC 3201 Giant Stars
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present the analysis of 510 light curves in V and I bands of 255 giant stars in the globular cluster NGC 3201. Our aim is to expand the sample of new types of variables reported in a previous study. These variables show a short period ( P _V < 0.6 day)
