A near infrared variable star survey in the Magellanic Clouds: The Small Magellanic Cloud data [PDF]
A very long term near-infrared variable star survey towards the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds was carried out using the 1.4m InfraRed Survey Facility at the South African Astronomical Observatory.

Variable Outer Disk Shadowing around the Dipper Star RXJ1604.3–2130 [PDF]
Low brightness dips have recently been observed in images of protoplanetary disks, and they are believed to be shadows by the inner disk. We present VLT/SPHERE polarimetric differential imaging of the transition disk around the dipper star RX J1604.3 ...

Direct-imaging Discovery of a Substellar Companion Orbiting the Accelerating Variable Star HIP 39017 [PDF]
We present the direct-imaging discovery of a substellar companion (a massive planet or low-mass brown dwarf) to the young, γ Doradus (γ Dor)-type variable star HIP 39017 (HD 65526). The companion’s SCExAO/CHARIS JHK (1.1–2.4 μm) spectrum and Keck/NIRC2 L′

The ASAS-SN Catalog of Variable Stars X: Discovery of 116,000 New Variable Stars Using g-band Photometry [PDF]
The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) is the first optical survey to monitor the entire sky, currently with a cadence of ≲ 24 hours down to g ≲ 18.5 mag. ASAS-SN has routinely operated since 2013, collecting ∼ 2,000 to over 7,500 epochs

On the irregular variations in the light curves of RY Vul
The star RY Vul according General Catalogue of Variable Star (GCVS) is RR Lyr variable, but period and initial epoch are unknown. To determine these parameters the photometric observations during several seasons in 201 1-201 7 of the variable star RY Vul

Catching a star before explosion: the luminous blue variable progenitor of SN 2015bh [PDF]
In this paper we analyse the pre-explosion spectrum of SN2015bh by performing radiative transfer simulations using the CMFGEN code. This object has attracted significant attention due to its remarkable similarity to SN2009ip in both its pre- and post ...

GENERAL CATALOGUE OF VARIABLE STARS: CURRENT STATUS AND NEW NAME-LISTS
A short history of variable-star catalogs is presented. After the second World War, the International Astronomical Union asked astronomers of the Soviet Union to become responsible for variable-star catalogs. Currently, the catalog is kept electronically

The pulsating variable star population in DDO210 [PDF]
We have probed the pulsating variable star content of the isolated Local Group dwarf galaxy, DDO210 (Aquarius), using archival Advanced Camera for Surveys/$Hubble$ $Space$ $Telescope$ imaging in the F475W and F814W passbands.
